Prior to the 2017 election, only the Conservatives and Venstre had held the mayor's position in the municipality.[a] However, in the 2017 election, local party Nytgribskov had managed to win the mayor's position after an agreement with the Social Democrats and the Red–Green Alliance.[1]
In this election, Conservatives would become the largest party, the first time for the party in the municipality.[b] However, Bent Hansen from Venstre managed to get a majority supporting him as the mayor. The agreement would be with the Social Democrats, the Social Liberals, Nytgribskov, the Green Left and Red–Green Alliance.[2][3]
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. Gribskov Municipality had 23 seats in 2021
Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
