The Association of Timorese Heroes (Tetum: Klibur Oan Timor Asu’wain, KOTA; Portuguese: Associação dos Heróis Timorenses, AHT), sometimes known as Sons of the Mountain Warriors, is a culturally conservative political party in East Timor. In the parliamentary election held on 30 August 2001, the party won 2.1% of the popular vote and 2 out of 88 seats. According to provisional results, the party won together with the People's Party of Timor 3.20% of the vote in the June 2007 parliamentary election, and 2 seats.[1]
The party holds conservative beliefs in the cultural sphere, while leaning left on social policy, inspired by the Portuguese Socialist Party. It is in favour of a form of federalism in which the country is organised and governed based on the traditional kingdoms, and also advocates for a union between East Timor and Indonesian West Timor.[2]
