The Bhutan Tendrel Party (BTP; Dzongkha: བྷུ་ཊཱན་རྟེན་འབྲེལ་ཚོགས་པ།) is a political party in Bhutan.[1][2][3] It was founded by Pema Chewang[4] after his resignation as Secretary of the National Land Commission in November 2022.[5]
Following election guidelines, the party held a "convention for registration" on 29 November 2022. During the meeting, core party members, supporters, and dzongkhag coordinators elected the party President, Vice Presidents, Executive Committee Members, General Secretary, Treasurer, and other office bearers.
After submitting all required documents to the Election Commission of Bhutan, BTP received approval for registration on 9 January 2023.
Soon after its registration with the ECB, BTP began its familiarization tour across the country. The party held its first General Assembly in Thimphu on 30 January 2023.
