NUUK, Greenland — The middle-right Demokraatit Celebration received probably the most votes in Greenland’s parliamentary elections, a shock end result because the territory went to the polls within the shadow of U.S. President Donald Trump’s said purpose of taking management of the island a technique or one other.

Each Demokraatit — the Democrats — and the second place occasion, Naleraq — “Point of Orientation” — favor independence from Denmark however differ on the tempo of change.

Demokraatit’s upset victory over events which have ruled the territory for years signifies that many in Greenland care simply as a lot about well being care, schooling, cultural heritage and different social insurance policies.

“I think this is a historic result in Greenland’s political history,” Demokraatit occasion chief Jens-Frederik Nielsen mentioned on the election occasion after the outcomes.

Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq wrote that Nielsen, 33, seemed to be shocked by his occasion’s positive factors, with pictures displaying him sporting an enormous grin and applauding on the election occasion.

Campaign posters hang outside a polling station ahead of Greenland's March 11 election, in Ilulissat, Greenland. The island will elect the 31 members of its parliament, called the Inatsisartut. Greenland was due to hold elections by April 6, but Prime Minister Mute Egede called for an early vote amid the geopolitical tensions stoked by President Trump's vow to take control of the autonomous Danish territory.

The Danish Broadcasting Company DR reported that Nielsen mentioned his occasion would attain out to all different events to barter the longer term political course for Greenland.

“We had not expected that the election would have this outcome,” Nielsen advised Greenlandic Broadcasting Company KNR TV. “We are very happy.”

Nielsen additionally mentioned that Greenland wants to face collectively “in a time of great interest from outside,” KNR TV reported.

Prime Minister Mute Bourup Egede had referred to as the early vote in February, saying the nation wanted to be united throughout a “serious time” in contrast to something Greenland has ever skilled.

On Wednesday, after the outcomes had been recognized, Egede thanked voters in a Fb submit for turning out and mentioned the events had been prepared to show to negotiations to type a authorities.

Danish Protection Minister Troels Lund Poulsen congratulated the Demokraatit occasion and mentioned the longer term Greenlandic authorities would doubtless must “deal with massive pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump,” in accordance with DR.

He added that “it’s not the case that you can just take part of the Danish Realm — the future of Greenland is based on what the Greenlandic people and government want,” DR reported.

Trump has been outspoken about his need to regulate Greenland, telling a joint session of Congress final week that he thought the U.S. was going to get it “one way or the other.”

Greenland, a self-governing area of Denmark, straddles strategic air and sea routes within the North Atlantic and has wealthy deposits of the uncommon earth minerals wanted to make every thing from cellphones to renewable power expertise.

Egede’s Inuit Ataqatigiit (United Inuit) had been extensively anticipated to win, adopted by Siumut — two events which had dominated Greenland’s politics in recent times.

A break from Denmark wasn’t on the poll, but it surely was on everybody’s thoughts. The island of 56,000 individuals has been on a path towards independence since a minimum of 2009, and the 31 lawmakers elected will form the island’s future because it debates whether or not the time has come to declare independence.

4 of the 5 major events within the race sought independence, however disagreed on when and the way.

Naleraq is probably the most aggressively pro-independence, whereas Demokraatit favors a extra reasonable tempo of change.

“What approach to independence will win the day will ultimately depend on if Demokraatit decides to form a coalition government, and if so, with which party,” mentioned Dwayne Menezes, managing director of the Polar Analysis and Coverage Initiative.
