Centre-right opposition wins Greenland election, nationalists surge: TV

The centre-right opposition won Tuesday's legislative elections in Greenland, the Danish territory coveted by US President Donald Trump, as nationalists who campaigned for independence as soon as possible surged, public broadcaster KNR reported.

After ballots were counted in the capital Nuuk, the Democratic party, which describes itself as "social liberal" and which has also called for independence but in the longer term, held a lead that cannot be beaten, KNR said, adding that the nationalist party Naleraq was headed for a "stunning" election score.
