In East Timor voting in a presidential runoff ended today. The winner will replace outgoing president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos-Horta, who ran third in the first round of presidential balloting. The first-round vote leader was Francisco Guterres. He predicted victory and promised to work to bring prosperity to Asia's newest and poorest country. Challenging him is Taur Matan Ruak, who has made a call for universal military service a centerpiece of his campaign. Today's voting was generally free of the violence.
