East Timor is headed for a runoff presidential election after Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos-Horta failed to secure more than 50% of the vote despite a commanding lead over a fellow former independence fighter, incumbent President Francisco “Lu Olo” Guterres.
Ramos-Horta received 46.6% of the vote in last week's election and Guterres got 22.1%, according to a tally announced Sunday by the National Election Commission.
