Euclides Belo, the Sub Inspector of Timor-Leste’s National Police force, said the road in front of National Parliament would be closed during the day.

Belo said police across the country had been operating on high alert since last year’s general election.

He said extra police would be stationed around Dili from 11-13 June to ensure security on public roads, with a strong police presence in front of University of Timor-Leste where supporter-based political activity has been active.

Belo said police would check all members of parliament before entering National Parliament.

The June 13 inauguration brings to an end ten months of political gridlock in Timor-Leste’s 65-seat legislature. Parliament has been dissolved since January 2018.

The incoming Alliance for Change and Progress (AMP) coalition government is widely tipped to name former president and People's Liberation Party leader Taur Matan Ruak as Prime Minister.  

Following the June 13 inauguration, the AMP is expected to name its new leadership team.
