Opposition Secures Victory in Greenland's Parliamentary Election

The pro-business Demokraatit party leads, signaling a shift in governance and cautious steps toward independence from Denmark.

The social-liberal Demokraatit party won 29.9% of the vote, becoming the largest party in Greenland's parliament, Initsisartut.
Naleraq, advocating for rapid independence from Denmark, placed second with 24.5%, doubling its previous election results.
Outgoing Prime Minister Múte B. Egede's Inuit Ataqatigiit party suffered significant losses, dropping to third place with 21.4%.
US President Donald Trump's controversial claims over Greenland and promises of economic investment influenced the election narrative but failed to sway public opinion toward US integration.
The new government faces challenges balancing economic reforms, reducing financial dependence on Denmark, and navigating Greenland's path toward potential independence.
