From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noémia Sequeira (born 27 April 1980 in Oe-Cusse Ambeno) is a politician from Timor-Leste. She has been a member of the Fretilin party.[1] She stood in the 2017 parliamentary elections as a candidate on her party's list in position 24, but missed direct entry into the National Parliament.[2] However, as other elected party representatives gave up their seats, Sequeira was eventually elected to parliament in 2017.[3] She was appointed as a member of the Public Finance Commission,[4] and a deputy member of the Parliament's Administrative Council.[5] In the 2018 parliamentary elections, Sequeira again narrowly missed direct entry into parliament on the list position 24,[6] but on 13 June she replaced Mari Alkatiri, who gave up his seat. Sequeira remained a member of the Public Finance Commission.[1][7]
