The frontrunner in East Timor's presidential election, independence figure and Nobel laureate Jose Ramos-Horta, has said he hopes to restore political stability to Asia's youngest democracy, as the nation prepares to head to the polls.
East Timor will hold its fifth presidential election on Saturday since gaining independence, after a campaign also focused on economic security and jobs.
In 2018, incumbent president and former resistance fighter Francisco "Lu Olo" Guterres refused to swear in seven ministers from the National Congress of the Reconstruction of East Timor , a political party led by the country's first president and former resistance leader Xanana Gusmao. Patricio da Silva, a supporter of the president, said during a recent campaign rally he still had "high hopes" that Guterres would be able to win another term in office.
