According to foreign media including CNBC on the 11th (local time), the election results showed that Demokraatit secured 29.9% of the vote, ranking first. This marks an increase of more than 20 percentage points compared to the 9.1% vote share they recorded in the 2021 general election.

Another opposition party, Naleraq, received 24.5% of the votes, falling short of Demokraatit.

The ruling coalition currently forming the government, consisting of the Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) and Siumut parties, together garnered 36% of the vote.

This general election attracted global attention as it was held amid U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of plans to incorporate Greenland into the United States. While there is significant opposition in Greenland to joining the U.S., public opinion also strongly supports full independence from Denmark.

The business-friendly Demokraatit is regarded as taking a cautious approach toward Greenland's independence. Inuit Ataqatigiit and Siumut are also considered cautious about independence. In contrast, Naleraq advocates for the swift pursuit of Greenland's independence.
