Opposition Wins Elections In Greenland, Casting Doubt On Future Of Rare-Earth Mine

Voters stand in line to cast ballots Tuesday for Greenland s parliamentary elections at a polling station in the capital.

The Inuit Ataqatigiit party won 37% of the vote, compared with 29% for the ruling social-democratic Siumut party, according to official results reported by Reuters. The vote totals should allow Inuit Ataqatigiit to grab 12 seats in the 31-member unicameral legislature, known as the Inatsisartut, meaning it will likely need to form a coalition with support from one of the smaller parties.

Greenlanders Vote Leftists Into Power, Putting Fate Of Rare Earth Mine In Doubt : NPR

The Inuit Ataqatigiit party won 37% of the vote, compared with 29% for the ruling social-democratic Siumut party, according to official results reported by Reuters. The vote totals should allow Inuit Ataqatigiit to grab 12 seats in the 31-member unicameral legislature, known as the Inatsisartut, meaning it will likely need to form a coalition with support from one of the smaller parties. At the center of Tuesday s election was the fate of a rare-earth and uranium mining project in the country s south that has pitted those favoring more aggressive development against others who want more safeguards to protect the island s fragile Arctic environment.
