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] Despite a drop in vote share, and losing a seat, Venstre won the mayor position from the Social Democrats, resulting in Kenneth Tønning becoming the new mayor. [2]
Following the 2021 election, H.C. Østerby from Social Democrats became mayor for his fourth consecutive term.[3] Since then, two members of the Social Democrats switched party allegiance to Danish Social Liberal Party[4] and, two additional members of the party switched to Green Left.[5] The incumbent mayor, Østerby prior to the election, did not seek a fifth term as mayor.[6] Instead, Klaus Flæng would try to become mayor for Social Democrats.[7]
Electoral system
For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council. The seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation. Holstebro Municipality had 27 seats in 2025.
