Title: Ramos-Horta's greatness lay in his ability to remain above the fray
Author(s): Leach, Michael
Abstract: In a relaxed speech at Dili's presidential palace, East Timor's incumbent head of state, Jose Ramos-Horta, conceded he has lost the race for re-election. With the opposition party Fretilin's candidate Francisco ''Lu Olo'' Guterres and the former defence commander Taur Matan Ruak having finished first and second, Ramos-Horta would not make the presidential run-off election in April. Though it marked the end of an era, it may not quite prove to be his political epitaph.
