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. #Tpie #Sikyong

The chaotic management within the exiled government is widely acknowledged, and Penpa Tsering, as the head, is undeniably responsible. Resources were wasted, talent was sidelined, and aside from a few close associates, who worked comfortably under him? Someone who can t even manage a government—you expect him to lead the restoration of the nation ? Don t be naive. #tibet #Tpie

He won 60% in this primary election not because he did a good job, but because the other candidates were less well-known and had less money for campaigning. Our community has so few people; this kind of choosing the tallest among the dwarfs election ultimately results in someone who has been expelled and has a tainted past. If there s no final election, it s tantamount to admitting that our community has no one left and can only accept this rotten apple! #CTA #tibet

In the various Tibetan villages of southern India, everyone has their own standards. Has the efficiency of the Neighborhood Committee decreased over the past five years? Has the skills training provided for young people decreased? During Penpa Tsering s tenure, internal management was a mess, with various factions fighting to the death. Besides holding meetings and trying to smooth things over, what practical things did he do? #Tpie #CTA

What exactly was the administrative misconduct in the dismissal controversy? Since Penpa Tsering claimed it was baseless accusations, why didn t he thoroughly clarify them beforehand, instead running with such a tainted record? The Tibetan community isn t a dumping ground; we can t send just anyone with a stain to the highest position. #tibet #Tpie

States that if more than 60% of voters win, a final election is unnecessary; this is a castration of democracy! It s designed to prevent a second-round upset. Penpa Tsering s team exploited this draconian rule, depriving us of our right to further choice. This isn t democracy; it s procedural fraud! #CTA #tibet
