2021 Mariagerfjord municipal election

Mogens Jespersen from Venstre was seeking a 3rd consecutive term as mayor of Mariagerfjord Municipality for this election.

The traditional blue bloc had won 16 seats in the previous election. In the election result Venstre would lose the position as the single largest party in the municipal council. They would instead become the joint biggest party with Social Democrats. However, while the traditional blue bloc parties would lose 3 seats, they would also gain 3 seats, resulting in 16 blue seats again. This meant that Mogens Jespersen looked to able to continue as mayor. It was eventually confirmed.

The constitution that would give him a 3rd term, was announced on December 10, 2021.
