Unidade Nacional (PUN) got 18,213 votes, Allianca Democratica ( AD) 12,622 votes, Partido Unidate Nacional Democratia da Resistencia Timorense (Undertim) 12,185 votes and Partido Nacionalista Timorense (PNT) 9,543 votes, she said.
The rest obtained less than 3 percent of total votes, said Angelina.
Separately here, Lasama suggested to the parties to set of a shared cabinet, due to none of the party would not have got a single majority of votes in the country which has still shattered by the crisis of instability, unemployment and poverty.
Xanana seeks re-election for the powerful position of prime minister and so does former prime minister Mari Alkatiri.
The biggest party of Fretelin has historical links with the people in the country during the struggle for independence.
Timor-Leste had been under 24-year Indonesian rules and got independence in May 2002.
