| Chiefs of State and Cabinet Members | 22 August 2007 |
Per new laws pertaining to the illegality of cabinet members with political party affiliations remaining in office during the preelection caretaker regime, all but three members of Bhutan's previously existing cabinet stepped down in late July 2007 in advance of first-ever parliamentary elections slated for early 2008. The current caretaker cabinet--which consists of only three remaining members--is tasked only with maintaining day-to-day government functioning and not with formulating new government policies. |
