0,1,15,9,1,5,1

keywords: 

{'parliamentary elections': [0, 2, 1, 2], 'elections': [1, 1, 0, 1], 'bhutan': [3, 0, 0, 2]}

The correct option is 2, which states that only statement 2 is correct.

Statement 1 is incorrect because Bhutan actually held its first parliamentary elections much earlier, in the year 2008, not 2010.

Statement 2 is correct, as Bhutan did impose a requirement that candidates running for elections must have a university degree. However, it is important to note that this requirement has since been amended, and candidates without a university degree are now allowed to contest elections in Bhutan.

Therefore, the correct answer is option-2, as only statement 2 is correct.
