The center-right Democratic Party has won Greenland’s parliamentary elections held yesterday, securing a decisive lead that makes it the clear victor, according to KNR TV.

Meanwhile, nationalists advocating for Greenland’s swift independence from Denmark have gained unprecedented support, fueled by ongoing debates over the island’s future, especially following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s expressed interest in acquiring Greenland.

The Democratic Party positions itself as a “social liberal” movement that supports Greenland’s eventual independence but prioritizes economic and social development before taking further steps toward sovereignty.

The Democratic Party’s victory strengthens its position in forming the next government, where it is expected to focus on economic reforms and enhancing self-governance while facing growing internal pressures to push for full independence from Denmark in the future.
