Formation of the executive board
After the elections, the formation process begins. The political parties will enter into discussions about coalition formation and a coalition agreement. It is customary for the largest party to take the lead. The coalition agreement sets out the areas where the parties agree. This forms the basis for the plans to be developed until the next elections.
Once the coalition agreement is finalised, the new aldermen will also be appointed. This takes place during a public council meeting where the coalition agreement is presented to the municipal council and to residents. The date of this meeting will be announced as soon as possible once the negotiations have been completed.
