He was appointed Minister of Health and Infrastructure in the Hammond I Cabinet and shortly thereafter in the Hammond II Cabinet . Gerhardt Petersen took over his parliamentary seat . In the local elections in the same year he received 128 votes and thus reached the first place for the Atassut in the Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq . However, the elected Thomas Kristensen was recognized as ineligible for previous insults to officials and Steen Lynge moved up to the local council. In the parliamentary elections in 2014 he came to the second place of Atassut with 135 votes, but both elected members of the Inatsisartut were appointed to the Kielsen I cabinet , so that Steen Lynge moved up together with Siverth K. Heilmann . Steen Lynge also took part in the 2015 Folketing election , where he again missed a place in the Folketing with 1,314 votes . When Atassut left the Naalakkersuisut in October 2016 , Lynge and Heilmann had to give their parliamentary seats back to Knud Kristiansen and Mala Høy Kúko . In the local elections in 2017 he reached the first place for the Atassut behind Mala Høy Kúko in the Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq. In June 2017, he resigned from his party after resigning from his position as vice-chairman in November 2016. In the 2018 parliamentary elections , he stood for Democracy and won a seat in the Inatsisartut with 75 votes.
