Anna Wangenheim (D) received the second most personal votes in the general election with 2358 votes, but IA and Naleraq received the most votes as a party, and thus they will take the seats in the Folketing.
Sermitsiaq caught Anna Wangenheim making a comment after the result was announced:
You will be number 3. What do you think of the result?
- You could have predicted that. That is how it is, and I would wish them a very big congratulations. And wish them good luck in their work.
- Of course I am a little upset because I received the second most personal votes, but that is how the electoral process works, she says.
Anna Wangenheim is a member of Naalakkersuisut as naalakkersuisut for health and people with disabilities.
Exciting negotiations in sight
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who is the chairman of both Demokraatit and Naalakkersuisut, is also upset that they did not get one mandate. He also wishes the two elected politicians congratulations.
In Denmark, the result has also been announced. There were 84 mandates for the red bloc, 77 for the blue bloc and 14 for the Moderates. This means that neither the red bloc nor the blue bloc can get a majority without the Moderates.
In relation to the result in Denmark, how do you relate to it as chairman of Naalakkersuisut?
- I also think it looks a bit mixed. But yes, they will have to go through some exciting negotiations. But I hope we will get a cooperative government with a good view of Greenland, says Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
The two Greenlandic seats in the Folketing went to Naleraq with 24.6 percent of the votes and IA with 28.6 percent of the votes.
Qarsoq Høegh-Dam (N) got one seat in the Folketing with 4615 personal votes, while Naaja. H. Nathanielsen (IA) got the other with 1953 personal votes.
