The 2025 Kolding Municipal election was held on November 18, 2025, to elect the 25 members to sit in the regional council for the Kolding Municipal council, in the period of 2026 to 2029. Jakob Ville from Venstre, would win the mayoral position.
Background Following the 2021 election, Knud Erik Langhoff from the Conservatives became mayor for his first term after a dramatic night, which resulted in parties, typically considered somewhat left of the political spectrum, supporting the centre-right candidate Erik Langhoff from the Conservatives. Since then, 2 of the 3 elected Conservative council members, had left the party, one to Venstre and another to the Liberal Alliance. Following this, Langhoff announced his intention to run for re-election as a council member, but also declared that he would not seek the mayoral position for another term.
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. Kolding Municipality had 25 seats in 2025.
