Electoral performance During the campaign for the 2007 parliamentary elections, the other parties strongly criticized the call by the Diocese of Dili for all Christians to vote for the PUN. The PUN did not seek a government coalition with other parties. Borges held opinion that the then Prime Minister Marí Alkatiri, the then President Xanana Gusmão and his successor José Ramos-Horta was responsible for the unrest in East Timor in 2006 and the desolate situation in the country. Even after the election, the party stuck to the position of: "We want to be an opposition party in the national parliament that focuses on justice and against nepotism, corruption and nepotism in the country" The PUN received 18,896 votes, which corresponds to 4.55% of the valid votes. It found the greatest support in what was then Ermera District, where it received 19.17% (8,149 votes) of the vote and became the second strongest party. The PUN's voting share was also above average in the districts of Bobonaro (9.77%, 3,710 votes) and Manufahi (6.01%, 1,153 votes). Three deputies initially represented the PUN in the National Parliament of East Timor; Dr. Fernanda Mesquita Borges, José dos Reis Francisco Abel, and Vice Party leader Mateus de Jesus. In the course of the legislature, Abel left Parliament. Domingos Canossa Caldeira Mesquita replaced him. Mateus de Jesus left the PUN and then sat in Parliament as an independent MP until the end of the legislature. In the parliamentary elections of 2012, the PUN failed with only 3,191 votes (0.68%) at the three percent hurdle. She achieved the best result in her old stronghold of Ermera with 1.45% of the votes and in Aileu with 1.40%. References Political parties in East Timor Christian democratic parties in Asia
