Timorese Social Democratic Association

Timorese Social Democratic Association

The Timorese Social Democratic Association ("Associação Social-Democrata Timorense" or ASDT) is a social-democratic political party in East Timor.

In the parliamentary election held on 30 August 2001, the party won 7.8 % of the popular vote and 6 out of 88 seats.

Both the original ASDT of the 1970s (which became FRETILIN) and the current party of the same name are founded by ex-Timorese President Francisco Xavier do Amaral.

In the June 2007 parliamentary election, the ASDT formed an alliance with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), and together they won 15.73% of the vote and 11 seats.
