The President of CNRT, Xanana Gusmao said Satruday that the success of the general election this year was still the number one priority of CNRT. He said this when talking to reporters on his arrival back from Jakarta.

He said giving priority to the elections was more important than an international court for Timor Lorosae. He said if an international court was talked about right now, more important issues like economic development, education, health and jobs would be overlooked.

"We are now in the process of having elections. So why don"t we concentrate our energy on it?" asked Xanana.
