A word that describes you best?
Amicable
If you lose this election, why would it be?
I think I have a fighting chance
Do you own a plot in Gyalpoizhing or intend to buy one?
I am afraid I can’t stand the Giant African Land Snails
Why did you join politics, besides serving Tsa-wa-sum?
If how this country of ours will be, say a 100 years later, is to be determined more by political leaders than anybody else, then why not?
It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting. Comment...
Every vote counts. I think we should stop complaining and start acting
What do you think of common forum for election campaign, which some felt did not serve the purpose?
Common forum is good but then it has its limitations. It makes campaigning appear rigid and orchestrated without much room to get creative or take initiatives. Compulsory Dzongkha, rather than local dialects, is another drawback
What comes first? Economic development or democracy?
Man’s quest for food and rights goes back eons. I don’t know which is first
What do you think of your opponent?
Watch him closely, he will do well. 2013 however is not his year (LoL)
People named you as lyonchhung. Why?
No compliment is bigger or sweeter. Thank you
Did you answer the questions we sent yourself or someone else did it for you?
Well, my younger brother did express his keen desire to answer on my behalf …

Sonam Jamtsho, 26, is from Resa in Saling gewog. He did Bachelors in Live Science in Sherubtse. Having graduated in 2012, he worked as the field officer with Bhutan Insurance corporation ltd.
Sonam Jamtsho recently quit his job to join the party. He is single.
A word that describes you best?
Approachable
If you lose this election, why would it be?
Lack of advocacy among voters
Do you own a plot in Gyalpoizhing or intend to buy one?
I don’t own any. It should be those from Gyalpoizhing who should be given the priority to own one
Why did you join politics, besides serving Tsa-wa-sum?
To fill the generation gap. Youth involvement in politics is integral. We need a mix of views and interpretations
It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting. Comment…
To me, voting, thus being able to exercise one’s right, is above everything for a vibrant democracy
What do you think of common forum for election campaign, which some felt did not serve the purpose?
It’s proven to be very helpful for new candidates like me. It offers a good platform for us to introduce ourselves and the party we represent
What comes first? Economic development or democracy?
Democracy
What do you think of your opponent?
Another person in service of the nation
Joining politics at such young age. What do you expect?
People have a choice
Did you answer the questions we sent yourself or someone else did it for you?
Myself
