NUUK, March 25, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A candidate from a party pushing to fast-track Greenland's independence will soon represent the island in the Danish parliament. The territory's second seat was won by Naaja Nathanielsen, a Greenland minister from the social-democratic party Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA). Greenland's prime minister told AFP on Tuesday that Denmark's general election was the most important in the history of the Danish autonomous territory. Frederiksen's Social Democrats finished first in Tuesday's general election but posted their weakest showing in more than 120 years and the left-wing bloc they belong to failed to secure a majority. The international row over Greenland was not central to the general election campaign however, which focused instead on domestic issues like inflation and immigration.
