THE centre-right opposition has won a surprise victory in legislative elections in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by US President Donald Trump, as support also surged for the nationalist Naleraq party seeking independence as soon as possible.

Surprise victory for Oppn in Greenland

The Democratic party — which describes itself as "social liberal" and has also called for independence but in the longer term — more than tripled its score from the 2021 election to win 29.9% of votes, official results showed.

The nationalist Naleraq party, the most ardent pro-independence party, more than doubled its showing to 24.5%.

Never before has an election in Greenland garnered as much international interest, following Trump's recently stated ambitions to take control of the vast resource-rich territory.
