Elvina Sousa Carvalho in Parliament (2018)

Since the beginning of her studies in 2007 she was politically active and a member of the Organizasaun Juventude Demokratiku, the youth organization of the PD. In 2011 Carvalho was elected the second deputy general secretary of Organização Mulher Democrático (OMD), the PD women's organization. In January 2017, she was elected President of OMD.

In the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2017 , Carvalho ran for third place on the PD party list and thus moved into the national parliament as a member of parliament. On September 6, she was elected deputy secretary in the Parliament's Bureau. She was also a member of the Ethics Committee (Committee G). Since the minority government of FRETILIN and PD could not prevail in parliament, President Francisco Guterres dissolved it and called for new elections. In the new elections on May 12, 2018 , Carvalho managed to return to third place on the PD list and re-entered parliament, where the PD now belongs to the opposition. Carvalho is now a member of the Commission for Education, Youth, Culture and Citizens' Rights (Commission G).
