  Julio Tomas Pinto of the University of Timor Leste said he did not expect either Fretilin or CNRT to win a clear majority in the 65-seat parliament.
  
  "I predict both will get about 20 seats in parliament but to form the government in parliament they each need 35 or 34 seats ... so they will have to form a coalition with other parties," he told Reuters Television.
  
  Under a new system, ballot boxes will be transferred to regional counting centres, using helicopters in remote spots.
