A left-wing environmentalist party opposed to a controversial mining project won a clear victory in Greenland s parliamentary election, according to results released Wednesday.
With 36.6 percent of the vote, Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) was ahead of Siumut, a social democratic party that has dominated politics in the Danish territory since it gained autonomy in 1979. Thank you to the people who trusted us to work with the people in the centre for the next four years, IA leader Mute Egede said on KNR public television after the results were announced.
IA, which was previously in opposition, is expected to grab 12 out of the 31 seats in the Inatsisartut, the local parliament, up from eight currently.
