Politics of EastTimor takes place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democratic republic, whereby the PrimeMinister of EastTimor is the head of government, and of a pluriform multi-party system.
The Head of state of the East Timorese republic is the president, who is elected by popular vote for a five-year term and whose role is largely symbolic, though he is able to veto some legislation.
The East Timorese constitution was modelled on that of Portugal.
The PrimeMinister is the head of the Timor-Leste Government and is ultimately responsible to the people of Timor-Leste for policy development and the decisions taken by the government.
Now, the PrimeMinister and his government are rebuilding the country and its institutions with minimal resources including a severe lack of human resources and skills.
The PrimeMinister is committed to ensuring the government continues to reduce poverty and improve the livelihoods of the people of Timor-Leste.
