Along the road to Godthåbhallen, a number of politicians are having a final talk with voters on Tuesday morning.
Among them is Ellen Schärfe, who has made a comeback as a parliamentary candidate after 18 years and is running for Atassut.
What would you say about your election campaign when you look back?
- Good and tough, but also in some cases surprisingly rewarding – especially meeting people up close and again participating in this form of politics.
What are your plans for today?
- I will be here at the hall (Godthåbhallen, ed.), because Atassut is using this day as a day of celebration – a day for democracy. So we have to meet and talk to people, sometimes go inside to get warm because it is very cold today. But the sun is shining and people are happy. It is just lovely, says Ellen Schärfe.
Another of the politicians from Kalistat Lund, who is running for Inuit Ataqatigiit:
- It has been a good election campaign. Of course, the period was short, but I quickly took advantage of the opportunity when the election was called. I was in Kuummiut, went on to Kulusuk to the west, then here and a few days in the south, where I also campaigned. Then I came back to Nuuk and continued my election campaign. It was really good.
What are your plans for today?
- We already started getting ready for today last night, and I woke up early this morning to continue where we left off. I have voted here now, and we will use the time outside the polling station to greet voters and serve coffee and other things.
It is cold – what do you think of it?
- Yes, it is. That is how it is at this time of year, and we are okay with it. With warm clothes it is fine, and we are used to being outside in the cold weather, says Kalistat Lund.
Naleraq candidate Oliver Bech says that he looks back on a fun election campaign:
- It has been fun. This election campaign has gone really well, and we have had fun together, while we have worked on the election campaign.
What are your plans for today?
- I will make good use of social media, and then I will talk to people. In addition, we candidates will be together today.
