Since 1970 the Conservatives had held the mayor's position in the municipality.
In Henrik Rasmussen had secured his 2nd full term[a] after the Conservatives won 8 seats and an absolute majority.[1]
In this election Conservatives would gain 1 seat, and win 9 of the 15 seats. Therefore Henrik Rasmussen had an easy path to continue as the mayor, and would do so.[2][3]
This would be the only election that Venstre would not contest. This may have been a result of having failed to win representation in the 2017 election.
Electoral system
