Presidential election in East Timor Polls have closed in East Timor as the country elects a new president in what is expected to be a three-way race. Twelve candidates are standing, but one of the favourites for this largely ceremonial role is incumbent Jos?� Ramos-Horta. He is a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and survived an assassination attempt in 2008. Former military chief Taur Matan Ruak, who is backed by prime minister Xanana Gusmao’s Congress for the Reconstruction of East Timor (CNRT) party, is also expected to do well in the first round of the ballot. The third contender is former parliamentary speaker Francisco Lu-Olo Guterres, head of the opposition Fretilin party, who lost a run-off to Ramos-Horta in 2007.
