Liekele Ykema (born 13 October 1967) is an Alslandic politician and former economist serving as a member of the Euclean Parliament since 2019. Prior to this he served as Premier of Alsland between 13 October 2011 to 27 December 2018 and Minister-President of Yndyk between 16 May 2005 and 13 October 2011.
Ykema entered politics in 2005 after he succeeded Hatte Elsinga as Minister-President of Yndyk. Ykema was subsequently appointed Premier of Alsland by the President upon the resignation Ermnbryht Vrihte. Ykema led the Liveable Delland in the snap 2014 legislative election where the party received the largest amount of votes for an individual party. Following the election Ykema formed a coalition with the other liberal parties alongside social democratic parties and some sotirian democratic parties. Ykema became the first Alslandic Premier to serve a full 4 year term without experiencing a vote of no confidence since X in 1991.
In the 2018 legislative election despite winning a record number of seats and votes, Civic Initiative refused to enter another coalition led by Ykema. Ykema resigned despite having a high approval rating and was succeeded by Hepke Veltman. Ykema was elected to the Euclean Parliament in 2019. In 2022 he announced he would be running for the Euclean Community's Presidency in 2022.
