Pauloosie Jamesie Akeeagok MLA (Inuktitut: ᐱᔭᐃ ᐊᕿᐊᕈᖅ; born November 5, 1984) is a Canadian Inuk politician who in 2021 became the sixth and current premier of Nunavut.
Prior to his election to the legislature, he was president of the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, resigning from that position in August 2021 in preparation for the election campaign.
[6] Akeeagok was born on November 5, 1984[7] and raised in Grise Fiord.
[8] In November 2024, MLA Solomon Malliki brought a motion of no confidence against Akeeagok as premier, alleging that he was uncommunicative with MLAs and had fostered a "toxic environment" in the legislature.
He survived the non-confidence vote 10 to 8, receiving support from all of the cabinet and three regular MLAs.
