The flag of A.S.D.T. is an unequal triband of green, yellow and blue, in
2+1+2 ratio; on the hoist a white triangle charged with a red disc. On the
yellow stripe, the letters "ASDT"; details vary. No clues about the symbolism,
but graphically there is some similarity with the flag of
Fretilin, this party’s close ally.

According to a political analyst (Adelino Gomes: “A Força da Bandeira e os Desafios da Vitória” Público 2001.09.07 :3), «What are PD and ASDT, but different divisions of the same independentist family? »…« ASDT standing for the countryside old guard, embattled in its clanic standpoints, confuse but maubere.»
A.S.D.T. got 28 495 votes in the 2001.08.30 elections (7,84%), recieving 6 of 88 seats in the parliament — even if A.S.D.T. got only 14% of Fretilin’s result, it got to be the fourth party in these elections, closely following P.S.D. and P.D. These results were quite unexpected, and A.S.D.T. was the only party who beated Fretilin in district elections, having won in Aileu.
