New Greenlandic members of parliament
In Tuesday's new elections to the Danish Parliament, two new members were elected from Greenland: Naaja H. Nathanielsen of Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) and Qarsoq Høegh-Dam of Naleraq.
With this, Nathanielsen leaves her position as Greenland's Naalakkersuisoq (Minister) for Industry, Energy, Raw Materials, Justice and Gender Equality. She replaces IA's long-time parliamentary representative Aaja Chemnitz.
"I believe that the time has come for a reform of the structure of the kingdom. It is not about division, but about securing the future", Nathanielsen wrote on Linkedin as part of his election campaign.
IA became the largest Greenlandic party in the election with 6133 votes, followed by Naleraq (5268), Demokraatit (3767), Siumut (3515) and Atassut (2290). The voter turnout in Greenland was 52.3%.
