It is not necessarily a farewell to politics when Erik Flyvholm, after 24 years as mayor, lays down the mantle.

The Venstre profile instead aims for the Folketing. This is confirmed by Venstre's Local Council for Lemvig and Struer over DR News.

- Even though I have been mayor for almost 24 years, I am far from finished fighting for what I believe in. I will work to make a difference for our entire region at Christiansborg, so we can continue to develop and create even better frameworks for businesses and families in Midt- and Vestjylland, says Erik Flyvholm in a press release.

The Local Council for Venstre in Lemvig and Struer Municipality has been looking for a new candidate, after Transport Minister Thomas Danielsen (V) switched districts to Holstebro.

This was a side effect of Søren Gade (V) moving his candidacy to Ringkøbing-Skjern, where he replaces party defector Mads Fuglede, who now represents the Danish People's Party.

Flyvholms candidacy will only be finally decided at an election meeting on October 23.

- We are really happy that Erik has chosen to put his candidacy at our disposal and a unanimous local council recommends him as our candidate for the Folketing. Erik will in every way be able to contribute and make a difference for Midt- and Vestjylland, says district chairman Henrik Damgren.

Erik Flyvholm became mayor of the then Thyborøn-Harboøre Municipality on January 1, 2002. This was until the municipal reform in 2007, where he instead became mayor of the combined Lemvig Municipality, which he has been since.

At the last election, he received 1,492 personal votes out of a total of 11,485 valid votes.
