The People's Party of Timor (Portuguese: Partido do Povo de Timor; abbreviated PPT) is a conservative political party in East Timor. Its predecessor was the Movimento do Povo de Timor-Leste MPTL (Movement of the People of Timor-Leste). The PPT is described as a conservative, backward-looking traditional party with utopian ideas and monarchist and religious tendencies.[1]
