East Timor's nearly 530,000 voters are to cast ballots to elect 65 parliamentary representatives after successful presidential polls last month that saw Nobel peace laureate Jose Ramos-Horta sweep into office. The 30th June polls are likely to be a close contest between a new party created by former president and independence hero Xanana Gusmao and the ruling Fretilin party, which lost some of its lustre after violence rocked the nation last April and May, leaving at least 37 people dead and many homeless.
