Rudolf Czegledi of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians was chosen as mayor after the election.[74]
South Bačka District
Local elections were held in the one city (Novi Sad) and ten of the eleven separate municipalities of the South Bačka District. The exception was Vrbas, which was on a different four-year electoral cycle at the time.
The City of Novi Sad comprises two municipalities (the City municipality of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin), although their powers are very limited relative to the city government. Unlike Belgrade, Niš, and Vranje, Novi Sad does not have directly elected municipal assemblies.
Most of the local elections in South Bačka did not produce clear winners. The Democratic Party's lists technically won plurality victories in eight of the eleven jurisdictions that held elections, but they were only able to claim the mayoralties in Novi Sad (temporarily) and five other municipalities (including two where the party actually lost the popular vote). Progressive Party candidates won the mayoralties in three other municipalities, and candidates of the Socialist Party were chosen as mayor in Bačka Palanka and Srbobran.
