NUUK, Greenland (Reuters) - Greenland's pro-business opposition Demokraatit party held a clear lead after most votes were counted in Tuesday's closely watched parliamentary election, in a vote dominated by U.S. President Donald Trump's pledge to take control over the island.
Demokraatit, which favours a slow approach to independence from Denmark, won 30.4% of the votes in the election with over 90% of ballots counted, up from 9.1% in 2021, ahead of the opposition Naleraq party, which favours rapid independence, at 23.7%.
