Encyclopedic overview
Aleqa Hammond (born 23 September 1965) is a Greenlandic politician who was the prime minister of Greenland from 2013 to 2014. She is the current leader of Siumut, since 2025, and previously served as leader from 2009 to 2014. She is the first female prime minister of Greenland.
First elected to the Inatsisartut (Parliament of Greenland) in 2005, Hammond was a cabinet minister in the government of Hans Enoksen from 2005 until 2008. After Siumut's defeat in the 2009 election, Hammond became party leader and led the party to victory in the 2013 election. In 2014 she stepped down as prime minister and leader of Siumut, following a case of misuse of public funds.
