Armando José Dourado da Silva

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Armando José Dourado da Silva (born September 19, 1967 in Dili , Portuguese Timor ) is a politician from East Timor .

On April 20, 1990, he founded the Frente Iha Timor Unidos Nafatin (FITUN), a youth independence organization, with 48 other young people on April 20, 1990 . His deputy was Marito Mota . On May 7, 2001, Silva handed over the chairmanship to Afonso Freitas.

In May 2001 Silva became president of the newly founded Partai Liberal (PL), which was renamed Partidu Democrática Liberal (PDL) in 2011 , and saw itself as a representative of the younger generation. It was not supposed to be a conversion of FITUN, but it had leading members from the youth movement. Some sources speak of a split from FITUN.

At number 1 in the PL, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly in the 2001 elections. Here Silva became a member of the Systematisation and Harmonization Committee .

With the independence of East Timor on May 20, 2002 , the assembly became a national parliament and Silva was a member of parliament. Here he was a member of Commission E (Commission on Poverty Elimination, Rural and Regional Development and Gender Equality). At times, Silva was represented as a member of the list by Carlos de Almeida Sarmento , sixth in the list .

In the new elections in June 2007 , the PL did not run and Silva ran for the Congresso Nacional da Reconstrução Timorense (CNRT).

Still chairman in 2011, Silva was replaced by Marito de Araújo as chairman of the PDL before the 2012 elections . Silva no longer stood as a candidate for the elections.
