Se va la Segunda Ronda

Resultados de las elecciones Presidenciales en Timor-Leste del 17 de Marzo 2012. Comentarios. Y se va la segunda ronda para Presidente.

Salió todo bien. Se quedaron contentos todos y se felicitaron mutuamente: el gobierno, las organizaciones de ayuda, las NGO’s, la UN. El proyecto de elecciones pacíficas de la CNE (campaña de Public Information donde participó activamente unos de los autores ausentes del blob) se puede considerar otro éxito. Tan contentos se quedaron todos que la autora ausente del blog se queda sin contrato! Pero sabíamos que era así: el 2012 es count-down para la salida.

Resultados

Imposible que ningún candidato alcanzase la mayoría, así que se va a la segunda ronda entre los 2 primeros:

• Francisco Guterres “Lú-Olo”, con el 28.76% de los votos y
• Taur Matan Ruak, con el 25.71%

Los dos siguientes dependiendo a quién apoyen tienen poder para decidir el ganador de la siguiente ronda:

• en el 3er puesto quedó José Ramos Hortas (actual Presidente) con el 17.48% y
• en el 4to está Fernando La Sama de Araujo con el 17.30%

Con Albertina trabajando en el organismo encargado de dar el conteo oficial de los votos, la CNE, se imaginan que su stress no terminó el día de la votación sino casi 5 días después cuando la CNE entregó los resultados provisorios a ser validados por el Tribunal de Recurso (Appeals en Inglés). Las chicas tienen a una mamá cansada en este momento…

“The 2012 elections are the second national polls to be Timor-Leste administration, with support from the United Nations Integrated Mission (UNMIT) in Timor-Leste being provided on a more limited scale than in 2007. UNMIT is due to conclude its operations at the end of 2012”
“AusTimorFN Timor-Leste coordinator and CCDHR Director, Professor Damien Kingsbury, said Timor-Leste’s Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration (STAE) and National Elections Commission (CNE) had very largely performed in a professional and competent manner. STAE is responsible for running the elections and the CNE oversees the electoral process, ‘All indications are that Timor-Leste is now very capable of running its own electoral process,’ Professor Kingsbury said”
“Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today congratulated the people of Timor-Leste for demonstrating their commitment to democracy and peace by participating in presidential election”
“"The Secretary-General commends the national authorities, particularly the Technical Secretariat for Electoral Administration and the National Electoral Commission, for organizing and supervising the polling, and the National Police of Timor-Leste for their role in maintaining a stable environment…"
“Last month, the Security Council extended until the end of the year the mandate of the UN peacekeeping mission in Timor-Leste to continue helping promote peace, stability and development”
“Timor Leste's second presidential ballot as a free nation will see two former guerrilla fighters face off in another round of voting, after Nobel peace laureate Jose Ramos-Horta lost his re-election bid.
Ramos-Horta, who was the troubled nation's voice during two decades of Indonesian occupation, conceded defeat on Monday after trailing in third place in the vote seen as a key test for the young democracy.
The election went into a second round, expected to be held on April 16, after none of the candidates in Saturday's ballot garnered more than the 50 per cent of the vote constitutionally required for an outright win.
"On the stroke of midnight on May 19 I will hand over leadership of the country to the new president, one of the two who are now going for a second round," Ramos-Horta told reporters in the capital Dili.”
“The presidential election has been a success so far, and conducted in an atmosphere of peace and optimism, with a palpable desire to show the world the great leap Timor-Leste has taken since self-rule. Here is a quick survey of various comments in East Timorese social networks to mark this landmark event”
