Farewell to the old council, installation of the new council

What happens next?
A new municipal council also means new aldermen. Together with the mayor, they will form the executive board of mayor and aldermen.
- The parties will first hold discussions to determine which parties can work together and which issues are most important. The largest party will take the lead in this process.
- Next, the parties will negotiate to form a majority. This means the parties working together must hold more than half of the seats in the municipal council.
- After reaching an agreement, the coalition parties will formalise their arrangements in a coalition agreement. This document will serve as the foundation for the new administration.
- Following the agreement, the parties will propose aldermen, who must then be appointed by the municipal council.
