Qarsoq Høegh-Dam is the sure winner of the general election with 4,615 personal votes. He is ready to go to Denmark to conduct negotiations on behalf of Greenland.
– I have it fantastic! Yes, I just have to keep my voice up, says Qarsoq Høegh-Dam, who has become a little hoarse during a hectic evening.
This is how Qarsoq Høegh-Dam (N) starts when Sermitsiaq asks how he feels after the election winners are announced.
It is the first time that Naleraq gets a member of parliament after an election. Naleraq has previously had a member of parliament in the form of Aki-Matilda Høegh-Dam, who during the election period jumped over to the party from Siumut.
– This is the first time that one of the new parties in Greenland has been elected in a general election, emphasizes Qarsoq Høegh-Dam.
Time for negotiations
Qarsoq Høegh-Dam is ready to get into work clothes:
– Now it’s about getting to work. I expect to leave as soon as possible for Denmark, so that I can take part in the meetings there.
Did you even think it would go so well?
– I had a hope! After all, I have been involved in politics for a while and could sense that a positive development was underway. But that it would go so well – that we won all the polling stations we did – it was still a surprise.
