David Iqaqrialu (born July 2, 1954) is a former territorial level politician from Clyde River, Northwest Territories (now Nunavut), Canada. He served as a member of the Nunavut Legislature from 1999 until 2004.[1]
Iqaqrialu was first elected to the Nunavut Legislature in the 1999 Nunavut general election. He won the electoral district of Uqqummiut in a hotly contested three-way race defeating former Northwest Territories MLA's Tommy Enuaraq and Pauloosie Paniloo. He served a single term in the legislature as chair of the Committee of the Whole.
Iqaqrialu ran for re-election in the 2004 Nunavut general election but was badly defeated by James Arreak finishing sixth out of seventh. His popular vote evaporated with 74% since the last election swinging to other candidates.[2]
