Head of state
Sourced
Every official Bhutanese site tried on 2026-10-13 (cabinet.gov.bt, pmo.gov.bt, gov.bt, nab.gov.bt, mof.gov.bt, mfa.gov.bt) returned 503, so the whole record is sourced from Wikipedia and still needs an official check. No cabinet changes in 2025-2026 were found, but the web search budget ran out before news coverage could be checked.
