One of new political agendas in Timor-Leste is change of generation. The eligible voters are over seventeen years old and voters from seventeen until thirty-five years old occupy more than fifty-one percent of total voters. It creates new political-social future toward state-building.
However, the first generations composed of resistance against Indonesia gain the support from all generations because of their strong leadership for peaceful and stable state. Especially, Xanana Gusumao who is charismatic leader for independence is tremendous popular still now.

It is said that Dr. Alkatri discussed the future planning of Timor-Leste with Mr. Gusmao. Their relations must organize and manage the division of roles each other for peaceful and stable state-building.
