Dharamsala, Oct 18 (ANI): The first phase of polling for the 16th Tibetan Parliament in-exile began on Sunday at Dharamsala. The Tibetan Parliament-in-exile is a unicameral and highest legislative organ of the Central Tibetan Administration. The Parliament comprises 44 members, of which 10 are elected from U-Tsang, Do-tod and Do-med – three traditional provinces of Tibet – while the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism and the traditional Bon faith elect two members each. Four members are elected by Tibetans living in the West – two from Europe, one from North America and one from Canada. The Prime Minister is directly elected by the Tibetan community. Five candidates, including the incumbent Lobsang Sangay, are in fray for the post of Prime Minister. On Sunday, Tibetans came out in large numbers to cast their votes.
