said prior to the election they would be ready to support Sophie Hæstorp Andersen as the new mayor, to prevent the Red–Green Alliance from winning the position. Following the result, the leader of the Red–Green Alliance reacted with joy, saying she hoped that the party could secure the Lord Mayor's position with a green majority consisting of themselves, Danish Social Liberal Party, the Green Left and the The Alternative. Eventually however, it was announced that Sophie Hæstorp Andersen would be the new mayor. Line Barfod from the Red–Green Alliance joined the agreement, citing that the Danish Social Liberal Party would not support her, and that the Social Democrats would rather work with the right-wing parties than support her. To prevent the former from happening, she decided that the Red–Green Alliance should be a part of the agreement making Sophie Hæstorp Andersen the new mayor. In return, the Red–Green Alliance would get 2 of the 6 minor mayor positions. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council. However Copenhagen Municipality has, as the only one, a city council instead of a municipal council. In the city council 55 seats are contested. The seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation. Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to city councils, electoral alliances are allowed.
