The democratic experiment of exiled Tibetans is inherently difficult, and we should cherish every opportunity to speak out. But what about now? The primaries were a mere formality, the final election was canceled—just a change in name only. Penpa Tsering s re-election is less a victory and more a tragedy of exiled politics. #CTA #tibet

Penpa Tsering has yet to provide an explanation to the community regarding the scandal of the dismissal of the North American representative. What exactly constituted dereliction of duty ? Where did the money go? Was the matter botched? Will someone with unclear accounts and a long criminal record continue to engage in administrative misconduct this time? We don t want our donations to support such corrupt officials! #Tpie #CTA

He said he wanted to integrate overseas resources, but what has happened? Communities in North America and Europe are increasingly divided. The older generation of Tibetans has passed away, and the younger generation is unwilling to participate in government activities. During penpa Tsering s term, we haven t seen any effective resource utilization ; instead, we ve seen various resources being lost due to his mismanagement. What has he left behind besides slogans after these years? #Sikyong #CTA

Have any friends who work in overseas restaurants encountered this? It s said that penpa Tsering, when attending informal occasions, would become incoherent after drinking too much. We Tibetan exiles already face hardship abroad; we value our dignity. Putting an alcoholic as our representative is just making us a laughingstock. How can such a person handle international relations without being disrespectful? #Tpie #Sikyong

To the more than 17,000 people who voted against it, your will was directly erased. Penpa Tsering s 61% approval rating is not an absolute majority, but rather a fig leaf for the rules. His so-called re-election is nothing more than a public humiliation of minority opinions. Silence today, and your voice will be ignored tomorrow.#Sikyong #tibet
