Aleqa Hammond

Aleqa Hammond, born on September twenty-third, nineteen sixty-five, is a prominent Greenlandic politician who made history as the first female prime minister of Greenland, serving from two thousand thirteen to two thousand fourteen. Her political journey began when she was first elected to the Inatsisartut, the Parliament of Greenland, in two thousand five. During her early career, she held a cabinet minister position in Hans Enoksen's government until two thousand eight.

After Siumut's defeat in the two thousand nine election, Hammond took on the role of party leader, guiding Siumut to a significant victory in the two thousand thirteen election. However, her tenure as prime minister came to an end in two thousand fourteen when she stepped down following allegations of misuse of public funds.

In two thousand fifteen, Hammond expanded her political influence by being elected to the Danish Folketing. Her career faced challenges when she was expelled from Siumut in two thousand sixteen due to another case of misuse of public funds, leading her to serve as an independent. In two thousand eighteen, she attempted to return to politics by running in the Greenlandic election for the Siumut breakaway Nunatta Qitornai, though she was not elected.

Hammond's political resilience shone through when she returned to Siumut in two thousand twenty-one. Her leadership skills were recognized once again when she was elected as the party leader in two thousand twenty-five, marking a significant comeback in her political career.
