On 5th of April 2026, Sveland has completed the municipal elections to elect new mayors across the country.
All eyes were on Doetinlingen where Green Party candidate Sjef Veldjen scored a significant 52.6% of the vote compared to exiting mayor Stijn Hoentjen, from the Popular Union, who arrived 2nd place at 26.3% of the vote. This is the first time Doetinlingen will now have a mayor from a different party ever since it was founded and ran by the Popular Union for years without interruption. The results are as it follows here:
| Sjef Veldjen (Green Party) | 52.6% |
| Stijn Hoentjen (Popular Union, endorsed by JLS & CPS) | 26.3% |
| Klaas Junte (Samen!) | 10.5% |
| Albert Plenk (Progressive Conservative Party) | 5.3% |
| Yousef Hussein (Social Democrats) | 5.3% |
And in a shock, the DR party looses the city of Emmelburg, held by the Republicans since 2000, with Bastijn Voorveld from the Progressive Conservative Party of Sveland holding 51% of the vote. This marks the first PCPS mayor in the country ever since the party’s foundation in December 2025.
In Omigrad, Omi Omeshashika has won a new term, winning 68% of the vote.
Manuel Ordanez Flores Luna has also won a new term as mayor of Vilren, in the midlands, with 57.3% of the vote.
