Greenland heads to elections with independence as a key issue amid Trump’s renewed interest in acquiring the island. Prime Minister Egede rejects US ownership, reaffirming Greenland’s sovereignty. Inuit Ataqatigiit leads the polls, with results expected on March 12.
Greenland is set to hold crucial parliamentary elections on Tuesday, with independence at the center of the campaign amid renewed US interest in acquiring the mineral-rich island. The vote comes as former US President Donald Trump reiterated his intention to take control of Greenland, a move firmly rejected by both Denmark and Greenland’s leadership.
Polling stations will be open from 1100GMT to 2200GMT, with results expected early on March 12. Six major parties are contesting the 31-seat Inatsisartut parliament, where 16 seats are needed for a majority. Prime Minister Mute Egede’s Inuit Ataqatigiit party currently leads the coalition government alongside the Siumut party.
A January poll suggests Inuit Ataqatigiit may secure 31% of the vote, while Siumut could get around 9%. The newly formed Qulleq party also joins the race.
Greenland, a Danish territory since 1979, gained greater autonomy in 2009 but remains under Denmark’s control in foreign policy and defense. With Trump’s renewed push for ownership, Prime Minister Egede has reaffirmed, "Greenland is ours," signaling strong resistance to any US takeover.
