The ceremony took place at Namgyal Monastery on 27 May, in the presence of the Dalai Lama, senior monks and members of the Tibetan exile community. Tsering was re-elected after winning 61 percent of votes in the preliminary round of elections held across 27 countries. The event marked the start of a new mandate for the administration, which represents an estimated 150,000 Tibetans living outside their homeland and remains a key institution for exiles worldwide.
