Partii Naleraq is a centrist-populist political party in Greenland.[4]

History

In January 2014 Hans Enoksen announced that he was forming a new political party after leaving Siumut.[5] In the November 2014 general election the party won three seats, taken by Enoksen, Per Rosing-Petersen (another former Siumut member) and Anthon Frederiksen (a former Association of Candidates member).

In the April 2018 general election, the party has increased its vote share and won four seats in parliament. On 19 May 2018, it was confirmed that MP Henrik Fleischer has left the party. On 20 May 2018, news sources have reported that he is switching to Siumut, although Fleischer himself did not officially confirm the report until 22 May 2018.[6][7][8]
