Timeline

1964

Jorge da Conceição Teme (born 24 May 1964) is an East Timorese politician and diplomat.

1998

In 1998, Teme received a scholarship from the New Zealand Overseas Development Agency (now the New Zealand Agency for International Development) and relocated to Palmerston North, New Zealand, where he also worked with activists for the liberation of East Timor from Indonesian occupation.

Additionally, he became the spokesman for the East Timor Students Association (ETSA) in New Zealand.

1999

During the 1999 East Timorese crisis, Teme's family home was burned down, so that Teme and his wife and children were initially without their own accommodation when they returned to East Timor.

2001

In the Parliamentary election held on 30 August 2001, Teme was no. 12 on the Fretilin list, and was elected to the Constituent Assembly, from which the National Parliament later emerged.

However, on 20 September 2001 he was appointed as Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation in the II UNTAET Transitional Government.

2002

He studied at Massey University, which awarded him a Master's degree in Policy and Politics of Development in 2002.

Teme remained in that office after the transition of East Timor to independence on 20 May 2002, as part of the I Constitutional Government led by Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri.

2003

From 29 May 2003 to August 2005, Teme was East Timor's first ambassador to Australia.

He was also responsible for other countries, such as New Zealand and Samoa.

2006

Due to the unrest in East Timor in 2006, Prime Minister Alkatiri was forced to resign, and within Fretilin there was an attempt to remove him as its general secretary.

2007

Teme joined the Fretilin Mudança reform movement, and in the 2007 presidential election campaign he supported the new prime minister and independent candidate José Ramos-Horta against his party leader Francisco Guterres.

Shortly before the first ballot in that election, Teme was accused of alleged sexual harassment of an embassy worker.

In August 2007, Teme became Secretary of State for the Region of Oecusse in the IV Constitutional Government under Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão, although his party, Fretilin, was in opposition to the ruling coalition.

Subsequently, the Fretilin Mudança group split off from Fretilin as Frenti-Mudança (FM), and Teme became its Secretary General.

2011

Initially, he was a member of the Fretilin political party, but he left that party in 2011 to join the Frenti-Mudança party.

He has been Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, East Timorese Ambassador to Australia, Secretary of State for the Region of Oecusse and Minister of State Administration.

Teme is from the East Timorese exclave of Oecusse, on the north coast of west Timor.

2012

In the parliamentary election of 2012, FM ran for the first time with its own list, and won two seats.

On 8 August 2012, Teme was sworn in as Minister of State Administration in the V Constitutional Government, a coalition between the National Congress for Timorese Reconstruction (CNRT), the Democratic Party (PD) and FM; he therefore renounced his seat in the national parliament.

2015

In February 2015, when Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão resigned and the new VI Constitutional Government of national unity was formed under Fretilin member Rui Maria de Araújo, Teme rejected an offer to be a Vice Minister in that government.

Instead, he resumed his seat in Parliament and became deputy parliamentary leader of the two-member FM parliamentary delegation.

2017

Teme is one of the founders of the Amigos de Taur Matan Ruak (A-TMR) movement, which supported the former president and his People's Liberation Party (PLP) in the campaign for the parliamentary election of 2017, regardless of party affiliation.

As the FM failed to overcome the four percent threshold hurdle in the election, Teme lost his seat in the National Parliament.
