The 2025 Ringsted Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 21 members to sit in the regional council for the Ringsted Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029.[1] Andres Karlsen from the Conservatives, would win the mayoral position. [2]
Following the 2021 election, Henrik Hvidesten from Venstre became mayor for his third term.[3] However Hvidesten stepped down as mayor on January 28, 2024, following accusations of inappropriate behavior towards female councillors. [4] Klaus Hansen, also from Venstre, replaced him [5] He is set to run to be elected. [6] On August 18, 2024, 7 right-wing parties, agreed an electoral alliance, wanting to replace Hansen as mayor, with the Conservatives mayoral candidate Andreas Karlsen, which would have broken nearly 20 years of Venstre-rule in the municipality if successful. [7] Moderates had orginially intended to contest the election, but Ringsted Moderates disbanded themselves in August 2025. [8]
