Well this is a twist we weren’t really expecting out of the Timor-Leste election! 🇹🇱 It’ll be interesting to see what evidence Xanana Gusmao fronts up… and if there’ll be a recount.
#breaking Xanada Gusmao is claiming vote count irregularities in the Timor-Leste election and looks like he’ll protest the election count. He claims his party CNRT won a majority (initial results say he fell 2 seats short). c/o our reporter @ZevoniaV in Dili…
