Description of the Flag

Leaflet [t9l07] shows a tottally new flag (replacing the previous one), divided vertically in two equal areas: the fly side plain white and the hoist side red with black bordure in all three flag edges; black and white round spots speckled on the red area and centered on it a vertically divided black and white ring; on the top hoist, partly overlapping the red area, a white disc with light purple rim and something on it. I dont know exactly when this new flag replaced the previous: somewhen between 2001 and 2007…

KOTA flag
image by António Martins, 22 Sep 2001

In the 2001 elections the flag of KOTA had a multicolor background consisting of five equal horizontal stripes (black, yellow, red, green and white) which curb to the upper fly in a perspective effect; three more stripes (dark blue, red and green) add to this effect from the bottom fly (being thus rather triangles, not stripes). Over all, the party emblem: a white disc bordered in dark blue with the party name arced around the upper outside of the disc in bold white captals. On the disc, a traditional Timorese house, two crossed clubs, and a kaibauk (a traditional Timorese symbol of authority); on the border 33 small yellow stars(?) — I dont know the meaning of this number 33, it is neither the number of districts (13) nor their subdivisions (64). On the black stripe, at the hoist, a yellow 32-rayed sun and the lettering "KOTA" in uppercase squeezed white sans capitals.

KOTA got 7735 votes in the 2001.08.30 elections (2,13%), recieving 2 of 88 seats in the parlament. Though is was created still during the indonesian occupation, being thus one of the “traditional” parties, it is one of the small parties in parlament.
