History
Prior to 1959, Lhasa was predominantly governed by the Kashag and lacked a representative government. In 1960, following the democratic reform of Tibet, Lhasa was officially created, and the Lhasa Municipal People's Government was instituted.[1] Vice Chairman and Secretary-General of the Preparatory Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, on behalf of the Preparatory Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Region, announced the official establishment of the Lhasa Municipal People's Government.[2]
In 1965, the Lhasa Municipal People's Government was restructured into the Lhasa Municipal People's Committee;[3] on September 10, 1968, this committee was transformed into the Lhasa Municipal Revolutionary Committee, which was subsequently reverted to the People's Government in 1982.[4]
