The 2025 Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 25 members to sit in the regional council for the Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029. ^[1] Anstina Krogh from the Social Democrats, would win the mayoral position. ^[2]

Background

Following the 2021 election, Hans Stavnsager from Social Democrats became mayor for his second term. ^[3] However, Stavnsager announced that he will not seek re-election, citing dissatisfaction with his own party, "Sometimes it seems like it's more about getting the right headline in the national media than about solving the problems that actually exist in our society. That includes my own party as well." ^[4] Instead Anstina Krogh, will be the mayoral candidate from the Social Democrats in this election. ^[5]

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. Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality had 25 seats in 2025.
