Bhutan votes tomorrow as economic strife hits 'national happiness'

Bhutan holds general elections amid economic challenges and concerns over chronic youth unemployment and brain drain. The country's policy of prioritising "Gross National Happiness" over growth is being questioned. Both parties in the elections are committed to the well-being of the people. The struggles of the younger generation, including migration abroad and empty villages, are key issues. The pandemic has disrupted tourism, and the parties have plans to ramp up investment in hydropower and other industries. The elections are being closely watched by China and India due to strategic border zones.
