New Delhi, Mar 14 (ANI): Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama is expected to submit his resignation as the political head to Tibetan Parliament in exile.
The Dalai Lama had announced on Thursday his decision to retire to pave the way for a democratically elected political leader. The announcement came, following a march by Tibetans in Kathmandu to mark the 52 anniversary of the failed uprising against China.
Last October, an election was held to find a successor to the spiritual leader. The front- runners for the post are:
1. Dr Lobsang Singe - who has studied at Harvard University.
2. Tenzin Namgyal- who has already served the Tibet government-in-exile several times.
3. Tashi Wangdi - who had once represented Dalai Lama's office in Delhi
On March 20, Tibetans across the world will cast votes to decide their new political leader.
The Dalai Lama and several Tibetans arrived in India in 1959 after an unsuccessful uprising against the Chinese rule in Tibet. (ANI)
