The Inatsisartut (Greenlandic: Inatsisartut; Danish: Landstinget, lit. 'the land's-thing of Greenland'), also known as the Parliament of Greenland in English, is the unicameral parliament (legislative branch) of Greenland, the autonomous country of the Kingdom of Denmark. Established in 1979, it meets in Inatsisartut, on the islet of Nuuk Center in central Nuuk.
There are 31 members. They are elected for four-year periods.
The Parliament of Greenland succeeded the provincial council (Danish: Grønlands Landsråd) on 1 May 1979. The parliament is led by a presidency comprising four members of the parliament, and the chairman. There are 31 members in the assembly.
The speaker is the presiding officer of the Inatsisartut. The speaker determines which members may speak, and is responsible for maintaining order. The current speaker is Lars Emil Johansen, former leader of the Forward Party. The speaker is nominated by the prime minister immediately following a general election and is confirmed by members; the speaker appoints four deputies.
