The 2025 Holstebro Municipal election will be held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 27 members to sit in the regional council for the Holstebro Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1]
Background
Following the 2021 election, H.C. Østerby from Social Democrats became mayor for his fourth consecutive term.[2] Since then, two members of the Social Democrats switched party allegiance to Danish Social Liberal Party[3] and, two additional members of the party switched to Green Left.[4] Current mayor, Østerby, will also not seek a fifth term as mayor.[5] Instead, Klaus Flæng will try to become mayor for Social Democrats.[6]
