The flag of KOTA shows the 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. The name of this party seems to be
exclusively in Tetum, and I cannot translate it.
