The People's Movement Party is a political party in The Nuiqsut Confederation founded in 2015 by David Alagalak. Created as an alternative to the traditional two political parties of Nuiqsut in the 2016 Election.
History[edit | edit source]
The PMP was founded in 2015 from the Liberal Party due to disagreements on social policy by Talsuik Executive David Alagalak. He argued the Liberal Party had betrayed the values of Qakttiaq, a foundational ideology of the Confederation based on the Angakkuq spirituality, by failing to recognize environmental concerns. Additionally, that the Confederation Party was not focused on rural villages and was too secular. In 2016, the PMP won 34 seats and became the largest opposition party.
