Final results from Tuesday’s election put Inuit Ataqatigiit, which opposes the mine, on track to win 12 seats in Greenland’s 31-seat parliament. IA’s leader Mute Egede will now begin negotiations to form a coalition from among four other parties that won seats.

(Bloomberg) Voters in Greenland ousted a government that wanted to attract foreign companies eager to tap the island’s rare-earth metals. Popular Searches The opposition Inuit Ataqatigiit (IA) was set to take 37% of the 31-seat parliament, based on an early vote count of Tuesday’s election. Siumut, the party of outgoing Prime Minister Kim Kielsen, was set to get about 29%, according to local broadcaster KNR. The vote hinged on environmental concerns against the need to attract investment and further the agenda of financial independence from Denmark. IA wants to shelve plans to allow a mining project at Kuannersuit near the southern tip of Greenland, which would be a blow for Chinese-backed Greenland Minerals.
