The prime minister has repeatedly failed to secure passage of a budget for 2020 after the largest party in his coalition, the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction party of independence hero Xanana Gusmao, withdrew support. Ruak said he was prepared to stay in office until the resignation was accepted so as “to guarantee government activities in our country”.
On Saturday, Gusmao, East Timor’s first president and a former prime minister, announced a new six-party coalition controlling 34 seats without Ruak’s party that he said would prepare to form a new government.
