The Druk Chirwang Tshogpa (Dzongkha: འབྲུག་སྤྱིར་དབང་ཚོགས་པ།; Wylie: ’brug spyir-dbang tshogs-pa, DCT; English: Bhutan Commoner's Party or Party of the Common People of Bhutan) was a Bhutanese political party. It was registered on January 7, 2013.[3] In the primary round of the 2nd National Assembly elections held in 2013, the DCT had 12,457 votes and came fourth place, not winning in any constituency,[4] and so could not take part in the final round. The Election Commission of Bhutan announced on February 26, 2018, that the Party was being deregistered on its own request.[5] The party then merged with Druk Phuensum Tshogpa.[6]
