Nobel laureate Jose Ramos-Horta secured a commanding lead in East Timor's presidential poll at the weekend with two-thirds of the vote counted, but with the possibility of a second round if no candidate secures a majority.
Asia's youngest nation held its fifth presidential election since independence from Indonesia in 2002, with resistance figure Ramos-Horta leading with 45.7% after 64% of the votes had been counted, data from the country's election administration body showed.
