Hans Enoksen (born 1956) is the current Prime Minister of Greenland.
A Greenlandic monoglot, [1] he has been a member of the parliament of Greenland since 1995. He became Minister for Fisheries, Hunting and Settlements and chairman of the political party Siumut in 2001.
He was elected prime minister on December 14, 2002, his party winning a mere 28%, a 7% percent drop from in the previous election in 1999, but still enough to win.
After his election he began an alliance with left wing party, Inuit Ataqatigiit. The two parties began discussing how to change the agreement with Denmark and the U.S. about how much Greenland should receive in compensation for the US airbase situated outside the town of Thule, in the north of the country.
