Huge Lu Olo rallies show people's desire for unity, stability


Timor-Leste (East Timor) presidential candidate Francisco Guterres Lu Olo says big attendances at his rallies across the country reflect popular belief that he is the only candidate capable of unifying the country and promoting lasting peace and stability.

Around 8,000 supporters attended Lu Olo's rally in the southern sub-district of Same yesterday, bringing total crowd figures at his rallies to just under 70,000 - far more than any other candidate.

Backed by Fretilin, Lu Olo has so far campaigned in the eastern areas of Ossu (10,000 people) and Laclubar (2,000); the western areas of Gleno (more than 6,000), Liquica (3000), Maliana (7,000), Ainaro (7,000) Suai - Zumalai (19,000); and the southern town of Aileu (6000).

Lu Olo said today: "Our rallies show that the population's confidence in me and Fretilin has not been shaken by attempts to destroy the party and destabilise the democratically elected government. My supporters have been subjected to violence and intimidation for more than a year and to their credit have generally refrained from responding in kind, despite extreme provocation. Now they have an opportunity to respond via the ballot box, and have made tremendous efforts to show their support by travelling over tough mountain terrain, by packing into trucks and by standing in torrential rain and burning heat. I want to thank the people for this magnificent show of support which demonstrates their desire to live in a fair and peaceful society free from violence, and their continued faith in Fretilin's ability to achieve that goal."

Lu'Olo will campaign in Oecussi today and in Dili tomorrow Wednesday 4 April. He will hold his final rally in Atauro, the birthplace of his wife Cidália Lopes Nobre Mouzinho Guterres, on Thursday 5 April.

Lu Olo to campaign in Dili tomorrow

A bigger than expected crowd of 10,000 people rallied in Oecussi today (Tuesday) in support of presidential candidate Francisco Guterres Lu Olo as the Timor-Leste (East Timor) election campaign entered its final week.

The Fretilin-backed Lu Olo campaign shifts to the capital Dili tomorrow with a rally at Kampu Motocross Delta Manleuana on the western edge of the city at 10am. He will hold his final rally in Atauro on Thursday.

Lu Olo has so far attracted crowds totalling around 80,000 – far more than any other candidate.

Fretilin today congratulated its supporters for conducting a generally peaceful campaign.

“We appeal to our members to continue to campaign in a peaceful way and to try to ignore provocations. We call on other political parties to make the same public appeal to their members,” Arsenio Bano, member of Fretilin’s Central Committee and National Political Commission, told a Dili media conference.

Bano confirmed that a man armed with a slingshot and steel “Ambon arrows” was seized by Fretilin supporters and handed over to police at Lu Olo’s rally in Suai last Saturday.
