Formerly the leader of the Siumut party, she became the country's first female Prime Minister after her party emerged as the largest parliamentary faction in the 2013 elections.〔(Mining proponents win Greenland election ) AP, 13 March 2013〕 In 2014 she stepped down as Prime Minister and leader of Siumut, following a case of misuse of public funds. ==Biography== Born in Narsaq, Hammond grew up in Uummannaq.〔(Aleqa Hammond ) Siumut 〕 Her father Piitaaraq Johansen died on a hunting trip when she was seven after falling through the ice.〔 She attended Nunavut Arctic College in Iqaluit between 1989 and 1991, before studying at the University of Greenland from 1991 until 1993.〔 Her studies were never completed. In 1993, she began working for Greenland Tourism as a Regional Co-ordinator in Disko Bay. In 1994, she used a hotel room and knowingly supplied a credit card which had been blocked (from prior abuse) to cover the kr 5,000 bill, and she was convicted of fraud in 1996. In 1995, she became the Information Officer in the Cabinet secretariat, before working for Nuuk Tourism from 1996 until 1999.

And as politicians we will take responsibility for our country". On October 1, 2014, Hammond took a leave of absence as she is investigated for an expense scandal.〔http://www.thelocal.dk/20141001/greenland-government-in-tatters-over-expenses-scandal〕 Kim Kielsen became Acting Prime Minister, and also succeeded her as leader of the Siumut party.
