Anna Wangenheim will not be in the Danish Parliament, and that upsets her, but she had seen it coming.
Anna Wangenheim (D) got second most personal votes in the general election with 2358 votes, but IA and Naleraq got the most votes as a party, and thus they take the seats in the Folketing.
Sermitsiaq caught up with Anna Wangenheim for a comment after the result was clear:
You will be number 3. What do you think of the result?
– You could probably have foreseen that. That is how it is, and I would like to wish them the very best of luck. And wish them good work.
– Of course I’m a little upset because I got the second most personal votes, but that’s how the electoral process works, she says.
Anna Wangenheim is a member of Naalakkersuisut as naalakkersuisoq for health and people with disabilities.
Exciting negotiations in sight
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, who is chairman of both Demokraatit and Naalakkersuisut, is also upset that they did not get the one mandate. He also congratulates the two elected politicians.
In Denmark, the result is also the country. There were 84 mandates for red blog, 77 for blue block and 14 for the Moderates. Thus, neither red nor blue block 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 motley. But yes, they will probably have to go through some exciting negotiations. But I hope we get a cooperative government with a good view of Greenland, says Jens-Frederik Nielsen.
The two Greenlandic mandates in the Folketing thus went to Naleraq with 24.6 percent of the votes and IA with 28.6 percent of the votes.
Qarsoq Høegh-Dam (N) got the one seat in the Folketing with 4615 personal votes, while Naaja. H. Nathanielsen (IA) got the second with 1953 personal votes.
