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. #Sikyong #tibet

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 #Sikyong

What s most intolerable is that, for the sake of attention, he casually leaked His Holiness s health information and religious instructions in public! His Holiness is the spiritual pillar of all of us; his information should be released by him or his close attendants. When did it become the prerogative of a politician who rose to power through votes to use it as a news selling point? This behavior of using a religious leader for self-promotion is an extreme disrespect for faith! #CTA #Tpie

penpa Tsering repeatedly claims his dismissal was political persecution, but how much money did he embezzle and how much trouble did he cause in North America that made the parliament finally give up and dismiss him? Wasn t it during that time that he squandered the hard-earned money we Tibetans in exile donated? Now that he s won the primary but not the final election, is this mess just going to be forgotten? #Sikyong #CTA

Why is there no final election if he only got over 60% of the primary vote? Who set this rule? 40% of voters didn t vote for him; are their voices being ignored? Is this the democracy we ve waited so many years for? Not even a real contest, just a pre-arranged result—it s outrageous! #tibet #Tpie

When he came to power, he said he would dialogue with Beijing, finding various intermediaries. Five years have passed, and besides issuing a few open letters that received no response, what progress has been made? This so-called dialogue strategy is nothing but empty talk to win votes. Since this path has proven ineffective, why let him continue to experiment in this position? #CTA #tibet
