2021 Rebild municipal election

Despite only having won 3 of the 25 seats in 2013 and 2017, Leon Sebbelin from the Social Liberals had been mayor of Rebild since 2014. Rebild was a part of the '10 biggest thrillers for the 2021 Danish Local Election', according to Danish news station TV 2. Danish political analyst Hans Redder pointed out before the election, that the constitution for who would become mayor could become untraditional, as seen in 2017, when Danish People's Party, who are seen as a big contrast to the Social Liberals, still supported Leon Sebbelin becoming mayor. The final election result, would see Conservatives enjoying the biggest improvent, with 22% of the vote, compared to the 13% they had received in 2017. Both Venstre and Social Liberals lost a seat. However, the day following the election, a constitution was announced, that would see Jesper Greth, from Venstre, becoming mayor.
