Greenlandic Premier calls for elections
The head of Greenland's government, Múte B. Egede, has called for an election to be held on 11 March, about a month before the deadline for them to take place.
"It's time for an election to Inatsisartut [Greenland's parliament]. And if Inatsisartut approves my proposal, this will happen on 11 March. We are in the middle of a serious time," Egede wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.
"A time like we have never experienced in our country. This is not a time for internal division. As the times oblige us to work together and unite for our country. I am again more than ready to work for you and to lead our country," he concludes.
The election date is expected to be approved imminently by the Greenlandic parliament.
