In the 2017 election, the Social Democrats had won 10 seats, and kept its unbeaten streak as the largest party in the council. Trine Græse from the party would eventually become the mayor.^[2]

In this election, the Social Democrats would once again become the largest party, although they lost 2 seats. The traditional red bloc won 16 seats, and this meant Trine Græse had good chances to continue. It would eventually be confirmed that she could continue as the mayor, after the Social Democrats reached an agreement with the Social Liberals and the Green Left^[3][4][5]
