The Association of Candidates (Kattusseqatigiit) was a conservative[1] political party in Greenland. The party was founded in late autumn 2005, when the chairman Anthon Frederiksen delivered 1,003 signatures to the Home Rule domestic office.

In the parliamentary elections in 2013, the party won 1.1% of the popular vote and no seats in the Greenlandic parliament.[2] and subsequently dissolved. Its founder Anthon Frederiksen later joined Partii Naleraq.
