history

The party was founded on September 15, 2004 and registered with the Ministry of Justice on November 8, 2005 .

In the 2006 East Timorese crisis members of PDRT were involved, including the Secretary General Lequi. Together with a mob of young people, they attacked police officers on April 28, 2006 and rioted. Party members belonged to Group 594 , which consisted of family members and sympathizers of the then rebellious soldiers under Alfredo Reinado .

In the parliamentary elections on June 30, 2007 , the PDRT received 1.86% (7,718) of the valid votes and failed to pass the three percent hurdle. It received the most support in the Bobonaro district , where it received 2,258 votes (5.9%).

In July 2007, the PDRT joined with five other parties that had also failed in the parliamentary elections by the three percent hurdle to form the Liga Democrática Progressiva LDP . The LDP was supposed to serve as a political platform outside of parliament for the parties, which are ideologically and in their program very different .

In the 2012 parliamentary elections , the PDRT and the Partidu Liberta Povu Aileba (PLPA) ran in a joint electoral list called Coligação PLPA / PDRT . However, the coalition failed with only 4,012 votes (0.85%) at the three percent hurdle. She achieved the best result again in Bobonaro with 2.61% of the vote.

The PDRT has been a member of the Bloku Unidade Popular (BUP) party alliance since July 30, 2015 . It is an electoral alliance of now three parties that failed in the parliamentary elections in 2012 due to the three percent hurdle and entered the parliamentary elections in 2017 with a joint list. In the elections on July 21, 2017, the BUP finally received 0.88% and failed to pass the four percent hurdle. Then the BUP joined the Fórum Demokrátiku Nasionál (FDN).
