Bhutan is an absolute monarchy with no legal political parties. A proposed Constitution, announced in March 2005, provides for a controlled two-party parliamentary system. There are nowadays three banned parties representing different ethnic groups that operate in exile: the Bhutan People's Party, Druk National Congress, and National Democratic Party. In addition, Maoist guerrilla groups from India and the banned Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) are believed to have camps and carry out attacks in the border region.
