Municipal Council
Danish city council members are elected for four-year terms. Last election took place in 2009 and councillors assumed office on 1 January 2010. The 2009 election was a victory for the left wing as the Social Democrats ousted conservative Jan Boye after his one term as mayor. That was, however, the outcome of a good election result for the Socialist People's Party.
