The Maribor local elections involve various candidates and political developments. Non-partisan candidate Bor Greiner has criticized the selection process for the director of Narodni dom Maribor, alleging that the Commission for Mandate and Appointments proposed a candidate favored by political factions over experts recommended by a professional council. Greiner has called for a repetition of the selection procedure and is currently collecting the necessary signatures to formalize his candidacy.

In a separate development, the Gibanje Svoboda party has announced lawyer Andrej Matvoz as its mayoral candidate. Matvoz, who serves as the director of the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for the Protection of Competition, has centered his campaign on transparent municipal management, balanced district development, and digital transformation of public services.
