Background
Following the 2021 election, Jørgen Popp Petersen from the Schleswig Party became mayor for his first term, and the party's first mayor since 1946. [2] In the 2021 election, the newly created local party Tønder Listen, won the most seats, but lost the mayoral position to the Schleswig Party. [3] The party leader, Henrik Frandsen, later became an MF following the 2022 Danish general election. [4] Following this, Frandsen announced on 8 January, 2024 that he intended to drop out of local politics. [5] Popp Petersen will however, seek the mayoral position and to be re-elected. [6]
