Mayor before election

Mayor after election
Frank Schmidt-Hansen
Conservatives
Ever since the 2007 municipal reform, Egon Fræhr from Venstre had been mayor of Vejen Municiaplity. He announced in 2020 that he would not stand for re-election.[1]
Instead Morten Thorøe would be the candidate from Venstre for this election.[2]
Venstre would lose a seat in this election, although still remaining the largest party. However following election night, an utraditional agreement between the Social Democrats
and the Conservatives, would see Frank Schmidt-Hansen from the Conservatives become mayor.[3][4]
This would mark the first time since the 2007 municipal reform, that a municipality in the South Jutland constituency would have a mayor from the Conservatives. It was one of three municipalities in the constituency where the Conservatives had mayor's elected in the 2021, and it was seen as a big success for the Conservatives, who had have trouble winning mayor positions outside Greater Copenhagen and North Zealand in recent elections.[5]
