Parliamentary elections were held in Timor-Leste on 30 June 2007. The new composition of Timor-Leste's national parliament was determined by the country's population. 529,198 voters were entitled to vote, 708 polling stations were ready.
As a result, 65 MPs sat in the new parliament for the next five years. Although a narrow plurality was achieved by Fretilin, a coalition involving the next three largest groups formed a government. New Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão (who was the nation's President until May 2007) of the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT) was sworn in on 8 August 2007; Fernando de Araújo of the Democratic Party became President of the National Parliament.
