Background

Following the 2021 election, Hans Stavnsager from Social Democrats became mayor for his second term.[2] Howevwer, Stavnsager announced that he will not seek re-election, citing dissatisfaction with his own party, "Sometimes it seems like it's more about getting the right headline in the national media than about solving the problems that actually exist in our society. That includes my own party as well."[3] Instead Anstina Krogh, will be the mayoral candidate from the Social Democrats in this election.[4]
