Background and educationWangchuk was born into a noble family. Her grandfather, Rinzin Dorji, served as the last Daga Penlop under the second King Jigme Wangchuk and third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuk. Her father died when she was very young and her mother left the family to become a nun. She studied International Diplomacy at the Australian National University, and Human Rights and International Law at the Indian Academy of International Law and Diplomacy. She further studied Political Science at Miranda College in India.[1] CareerWangchuk began work as a diplomat in 1994,[2] and in 2003 she was a recipient of the Lions Club Award for Outstanding Diplomat for her work with Bhutanese bilateral relations with India.[1] After a 12-year career as a diplomat,[3] she took time off to travel across Bhutan, visiting all 20 districts and the remotest areas of the country, during which she observed the socio-economic challenges facing common people and inequalities in development.[4] Wangchuk once served as the executive director of the Bhutan Media Foundation (BMF) and head of the Peoples' Democratic Party's women wing.[1] Soon after leaving BMF to pursue a career as a politician, in October 2011 she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and overcame the disease in six months.[1] In November 2012, Wangchuk became the first Bhutanese woman to be appointed president of a political party, Druk Chirwang Tshogpa,[1] a party which was formally recognized in early 2013. She was a candidate for presidency during the 2013 elections,[4] and represents North Thimphu Constituency.[2] Wangchuk cites Aung San Suu Kyi as an inspiration in her leadership.[4] She ran for the seat of the National Assembly of Bhutan as a candidate of Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT) from North Thimphu constituency[5] in the Bhutanese National Assembly election, 2018, but was unsuccessful. She came in second receiving 2,102 votes and losing the seat to Dechen Wangmo.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://bhutanobserver.bt/222-bo-news-about-a_woman_says_i_can_brlilywangchuk_president_dct.aspx|title=A woman says 'I can' Lily-Wangchuk, President, DCT|publisher=Bhutan Observer|date=3 March 2013|accessdate=2 November 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wangchuk, Lily}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.bbs.bt/news/?p=19199|title=First woman president to lead a political party|publisher=BBS|accessdate=2 November 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://iknowpolitics.org/en/news/world-news/lily-wangchuk-bhutan|title=Lily Wangchuk, Bhutan|publisher=Iknowpolitics.org|accessdate=2 November 2017}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=https://www.diplomaticourier.com/lily-wangchuk/|title=Lily Wangchuk|publisher=Diplomat Courier|accessdate=2 November 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kuenselonline.com/know-your-candidate-thimphu/ |title=Know your candidate: Thimphu – KuenselOnline |publisher=Kuenselonline.com |date= |accessdate=2018-12-26}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.pressreader.com/bhutan/business-bhutan/20181020/281547996869513|title=Seven women candidates of ten elected|work=Business Bhutan}} 10 : Bhutanese diplomats|1972 births|Living people|Australian National University alumni|Bhutanese women diplomats|20th-century diplomats|21st-century diplomats|21st-century women politicians|Bhutanese women in politics|Bhutan Peace and Prosperity Party politicians |
