Following recent general elections, several mayors affiliated with the SDA party have resigned from their local positions to pursue mandates in the House of Representatives of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In Visoko, Mirza Ganić resigned as mayor to honor the electoral results of the SDA list he led. Almir Ljeskovica, the presiding member of the City Council, is expected to serve as acting mayor until early elections occur.

Similarly, Suad Huskić resigned as the mayor of Tešanj after 14 years in office to join the House of Representatives. The Tešanj Municipal Assembly elected Amir Kurtić as acting mayor for a period of up to three months. Huskić is reportedly a leading candidate from the SDA for the position of Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
