RTP reports the Timor‑Leste government is preparing an amendment to its political‑parties law (the coverage gives no detailed text or timetable). Officials say the change would alter rules governing parties; specifics — such as whether this affects registration, funding or oversight — have not been published yet. Timorese residents in Portugal, diaspora organisations and NGOs should watch for formal proposals and consultation notices from Dili that could affect party activity or overseas campaigning.
