Before 2011, the Kalon Tripa position was subordinate to the 14th Dalai Lama as mentioned in the above article under Section 20 of the Constitution. But in 2011, the Dalai Lama abruptly announced that his political authority would be transferred to the then Kalon Tripa. As a result, on September 20, 2012, the 15th Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile unanimously voted to change the title of Kalon Tripa to Sikyong in Article 19 of the Charter of the Tibetans in exile and relevant articles. The Dalai Lama was and is essentially saying - Sikyong, CTA, you are on your own now. Do as you think right and as a democratic government in exile.
