Karina Zeeb is running for the Danish Parliament

Lawyer Karina Zeeb, 38, is running for the Danish Parliament for Naleraq. She believes that the political work in the Danish Parliament should be more noticeable for Greenland and the Greenlanders.

- We must ensure that decisions about our country are not made over our heads. And I am ready to take that responsibility. I am ready to continue the good work that Naleraq in the Danish Parliament has carried out in the just concluded election period, and I am ready to provide good results for the tasks that have not yet been initiated, says Karina Zeeb in a press release.

Karina Zeeb says she is ready to use her experience as a lawyer to ensure that Greenlanders' rights are followed and respected.

Naleraq will present all its candidates on Monday during a press conference at 1:30 p.m.

So Demokraatit is also ready with the party's election program and candidates for the parliamentary election.

Demokraatit chairman Jens-Frederik Nielsen will hold a press conference at the party's office today at 4:00 p.m., where he will present the candidates and election program.

The party writes on Facebook.

The Democrats had a great election for the Inatsisartut and the local councils in 2025, so it will be exciting to see if the party can also secure a mandate in the Folketing, and not to mention who the party puts on the ballot.

At the last parliamentary election in 2022, the party nominated Anna Wangenheim and Justus Hansen. Wangenheim got a great election with 3,482 votes.

However, it must be described as doubtful whether Anna Wangenheim will again be a find on the ballot, as she holds the position of naalakkersuisoq for health and people with disabilities.

Najannguaq Hegelund is running for the Folketing election for Naleraq. Naleraq announced this in a press release.

Najannguaq Hegelund, 37, is running for Naleraq to fight for the rights of Greenlandic citizens in Denmark.

Through her association work over the past 8 years, Najannguaq Hegelund has seen how Greenlandic parents can be misunderstood in the Danish system. She will work in the Folketing, together with parties, to ensure that Greenlandic children are not forcibly removed from their parents unlawfully:

- My experience shows that in order to achieve results for Greenlanders, we must set clear demands, not give up and, above all, put Greenlanders first instead of just blindly following Denmark, says Najannguaq Hegelund.

- I have repeatedly seen that Greenlanders are left alone. I want to emphasize strongly that everyone has legal certainty, this also applies to Greenlanders, she says.

Naleraq will present their candidates for the Folketing on Monday, March 9. It will be at a press conference on Monday at 1:30 p.m.

Orla Joelsen is known for her opposition to the United States' desire to take over Greenland.

Now he is entering politics as a candidate for the parliamentary election.

Orla Joelsen has been a prominent voice on the social media X, where he has been very active in arguing against President Donald Trump's desire to take over Greenland.

On X, Orla Joelsen has built up a large following with just over 86,000 followers.

In 2025, Orla Joelsen was the organizer behind a large demonstration that took place in Nuuk on March 15 against the USA.

On Thursday at 1:30 p.m., Siumut has called a press conference.

At the press conference, the party will present Siumut's election program for the general election as well as all candidates running for Siumut.

The party has launched a number of candidates. These are Ane Lone Bagger, Najaaraq Møller, Ineqi Kielsen, Aka Hansen, Doris J. Jensen and Erika Nielsen Baadh.

On Friday afternoon, Inuit Ataqatigiit will reveal the party's election program and candidates for the Folketing.

This is stated by the party in a press release.

The presentation will take place at Hotel Nordbo at 2 pm on Friday in Nuuk.

Since 2015, Aaja Chemnitz has managed to be elected to the Folketing for the IA, but she has decided not to run again.

On Friday, it will be revealed who will try to carry on the legacy of Aaja Chemnitz, who received 4,296 votes in the last general election in 2022, corresponding to 22 percent of all votes cast.

The general election will be held on March 24, and apart from IA, Naleraq and Demokraatit have not presented candidates either.

Doris J. Jensen confirms to Sermitsiaq that she is running for the Folketing.

– Yes, I decided to run for the election last week, says Doris J. Jensen.

She is not new to the world of politics. She served in the Folketing from 2011 to 2015. She has also previously been a member of both Naalakkersuisut and Inatsisartut, but was not elected to Inatsisartut in the elections last year.

Today, she sits on the municipal council of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq, while Kim Kielsen is on leave from the municipal council.

Doris J. Jensen is a teacher at Atuarfik Hans Lynge for the oldest students, but she is sure that she has something to contribute if she is elected to the Danish Parliament.

– While we are at the center of the world, it is important that there are people with knowledge and experience who stand for election. I am glad that there are also several new candidates running for Siumut. It is our hallmark at Siumut that we come up with both new and experienced candidates.

– The most important thing for me is that it has never been more important to defend our country, in a time when there is a lot of unrest in the world.

There are now a total of six candidates for the Danish Parliament from Siumut.

On the occasion of Aaja Chemnitz not running again for the general election, Inuit Ataqatigiit is holding a coffee meeting for the politician on Thursday.

Aaja Chemnitz has been a member of the Folketing for IA since 2015:

- We therefore wish to express our sincere gratitude for her great efforts and commitment as an elected official. , writes Inuit Ataqatigiit on Facebook.

The coffee meeting will be held at Hotel Nordbo in Nuuk from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Candidate for the general election for Siumut, Aka Hansen, wants to work for greater legal security for Greenlandic parents in Denmark, she writes in a press release.

- Greenlandic parents experience being assessed and judged in a system that neither understands their linguistic nor cultural background, writes Aka Hansen and continues:

- When a system repeatedly produces decisions that are perceived as incomprehensible and unfair by those involved, then it is not the families who are at fault. It is the system.

In recent years, several cases of forced removal of children from Greenlandic parents in Denmark have created great public debate and protests against the situation.

Aka Hansen writes that legal certainty is a fundamental right, and that Greenlandic parents in Denmark should be met with “the same respect, the same professionalism and the same legal protection as all other citizens.”

Najaaraq Møller has been a member of Inatsisartut and has worked to promote the self-determination of Greenlanders in their own country and participated in debates.

She is now running for the Folketing. Siumut writes this in a press release.

- It has become more important than ever to defend the self-determination of the Greenlandic people in the Folketing, she says.

In the press release, Najaaraq Møller emphasizes the increasing interest in Greenland from the international community.

- Therefore, it has become extremely important that we Greenlanders protect our self-determination to a greater extent. At the same time, the time has come for us to cooperate with other countries to spread and promote our interests.

She is running for the Folketing to work for the Greenlandic population to have a better position than today.

Siumut is now presenting another candidate for the Folketing.

This concerns the political deputy chairman of the party, Ineqi Kielsen.

Ineqi Kielsen writes in a press release about his candidacy that he will be a clear voice in the Folketing:

- If Greenland is to move responsibly towards greater self-determination, it requires that we take responsibility in the institutions where power currently lies.

- The Danish Parliament is one of them, writes Ineqi Kielsen.

He believes that the debate about Greenland in Denmark is often simplified and reduced to a question of block grants. The reality is more complex, he writes:

- Greenland contributes to Denmark's geopolitical position. Greenland is central to NATO's Arctic strategy. Greenland gives Denmark a global relevance that far exceeds the country's size, says the politician.

Ineqi Kielsen also ran for the 2019 general election, where he received 805 votes.

The deputy for Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam (N) in the last general election will not run again when the general election is scheduled for March 24.

– No, I won't, Elvira Kûitse writes briefly to Sermitsiaq's question about whether she is on the ballot for Naleraq.

Elvira Kûitse entered the Parliament in the fall of 2025, when Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam took leave to take care of her political work in Inatsisartut. This made her the first East Greenlander in the Parliament.

Kûitse received 120 personal votes in the 2022 parliamentary election. Like Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam, she then ran for Siumut, but later switched to Naleraq.

It is now certain that Greenland will have two new members of the Parliament.

On Thursday, Aaja Chemnitz (IA) announced that she would not run again, and on Thursday evening, party chairwoman in Naleraq Pele Broberg announced that Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam would not run again either.

The party chairwoman thanks Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam for her work:

- We see you. We appreciate you. We support you 100% in your decision not to run again, writes Pele Broberg on Facebook.

Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam has previously announced that she would not run again for the Folketing, partly because she is now also a member of Inatsisartut, where she will use her strength.

In a video on TikTok from Thursday evening, Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam explains more about her decision:

- Right now I am in Uummannaq, and you have probably heard that there are elections for the Folketing. I just want to say it so that everyone is on board:

- I have decided not to run for the Folketing. Therefore, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me. We have achieved a lot. I am absolutely certain that the next members will also do everything for their work, Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam says in the video, among other things, and continues:

- The challenges in our country have not diminished, and therefore I will use my energy and my time to focus on them. Therefore, I would also like to thank my colleagues in the Folketing, including Aaja. Even though we do not always agree, I would like to thank you for the good cooperation we have had.

Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam ran for the 2022 parliamentary election for Siumut. She received a landslide victory with 6,670 votes, corresponding to 33 percent of all votes cast in the election.

In February 2025, leading up to the Inatsisartut election, she switched parties from Siumut to Naleraq.
