Greenland has voted for a complete overhaul of its government in a shock result in which the centre-right Demokraatit party more than tripled its seats after a dramatic election campaign fought against the backdrop of Donald Trump’s threats to acquire the Arctic island.
The Naleraq party finished second. Now there are talks to form a coalition government.
Greenland is the world's largest island but has a population of just 57,000. However, it's not a sovereign state but is part of the Kingdom of Denmark along with Faroe Islands and metropolitan Denmark, which makes Denmark the world's 12th-largest country.
Both parties are, however, in favour of independence from Denmark.
