In the 2017 election, Conservatives had won 9 seats, and would become the sole largest party for the 7th time in a row. However, none of the traditional blocs had a majority without local party Lokaldemokraterne. The result would be that the Conservatives with Benedikte Kiær as mayoral candidate, would be able to reach a broad agreement with the Social Democrats, the Social Liberals, Danish People's Party and Venstre.[3]
In this election, once again the Conservatives would become the largest party. They won a total of 10 seats, the most since the 2001 election. The traditional blue bloc had won 13 seats, and it looked like Benedikte Kiær could continue as mayor. The bloc would eventually make use of its majority, and on the election night it could be announced that she would continue as mayor.[4][5]
