Kim Kielsen (born 30 November 1966) is a Greenlandic politician, and current leader of the Siumut party, and prime minister of Greenland. Originally a mariner and was police officer with Rigspolitiet from 1996 to 2003 in Upernavik and Paamiut. Kielsen entered politics in 2005 when he was elected to the Greenlandic parliament for Siumut and to the municipal government of Paamiut. In the government of Aleqa Hammond, he was the minister for housing, nature and the environment. He became acting prime minister of Greenland in October 2014 when Hammond stepped down and the Siumut party subsequently elected Kielsen as its leader,[1][2][3][4][5][6] awarding him 44 of 65 votes.[7][8][9] On 4 December 2014 his party along with Atassut and Demokraatit formed a new coalition. On 10 December 2014 the new ministers were represented.[10]
