Background Following the 2021 election, Henrik Hvidesten from Venstre became mayor for his third term.

On August 18, 2024, 7 right-wing parties, agreed an electoral alliance, wanting to replace Hansen as mayor, with the Conservatives mayoral candidate Andreas Karlsen, which would have broken nearly 20 years of Venstre-rule in the municipality if successful. Moderates had originally intended to contest the election, but Ringsted Moderates disbanded themselves in August 2025.
