The flag is horizontally divided in light blue over white, with a
coat-of-arms-like emblem centered thereon above the lettering "Partido
Povo Timor" — the party’s name without the smaller words (thus
reading "Party People Timor") in yellow capitals edged black. The
emblem, read as a coat of arms, is: party per fess argent and argent (?!), a
roundel or (windmill stone? punctured coin?) and a pair of crossed daggers
proper, inescutcheon “in heart” with Portugal
modern. Crest: kaibauk crown, red scroll like wreath and mantling.
For supporters, two purple roosters, motto "Timor-Dili" on a golden
scroll.

The official 2007 elections leaflet [t9l07],
shows the same flag as in 2001, but at the
official Parliament
website
(image)
the flag lacks the yellow lettering on the white
panel.

In the 2007.06.02 elections P.P.T. run
in a coalition with KOTA, labeled Aliansa
Demokratika (Democratic Alliance), which got 13 294 votes (3,20%),
receiving 2 of 65 seats in the parliament, one for P.P.T. and one for
KOTA.

P.P.T. got 7322 votes in the 2001.08.30
elections (2,01%), receiving 2 of 88 seats in the parliament, where it is
one of the small parties. The symbol and flag of this party are quite similar
to a previously existing entity M.N.L.I.T.D.
(Movimento Nacional para a Libertação e Independência de
Timor-Díli), reported in Vlaggen 33 (1985): 482-483
[vlg].

Image with unknown colors in gray, taken from Vlaggen 33
(1985) [vlg]: 482-483. "Timor-Dili"
seems to be a 1975 aborted attempt to create an alternative to "Portuguese
Timor", following the example of Guinea-Bissau
(vs. Guinea-Konakry — here would be
vs. Timor-Kupang). As we know, the form "East Timor" caught on
instead.
