Dutch municipal mayoral appointments

Overview

Municipal councils in the Netherlands have moved to recommend new mayors for the Ameland and Dantumadiel regions.

In Ameland, the council recommended Stefan van Keijzerswaard, a 46-year-old alderman from Vlieland, to succeed acting mayor Tytsy Willemsma. The selection followed a recruitment process involving resident input. If approved by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, his installation is planned for November 2, 2026.

In Dantumadiel, the council recommended 52-year-old Arnold Rosier, currently the Clerk of the Provincial Council in Fryslân, to succeed acting mayor Anja Haga. The recommendation follows a search process that was previously paused due to a lack of candidates. Rosier is expected to be installed on November 10, pending formal appointment by the Crown.
