The opposition won the majority of district mayoral races.
- Italics denote a mayor not running for reelection
In case of joint candidates, bold denotes the party to which the candidate personally belongs. In the 23 districts, 14 opposition or opposition supported candidates won, with 9 government-aligned or government-supported mayors. This is a sharp improvement for the opposition as they previously only occupied 4 of these mayorships.
In most of the cities, the assembly majority is composed of members aligned with the mayor, except:[8]
- X., with a Fidesz-KDNP mayor, and no clear majority
- XX., with an independent (Fidesz-KDNP supported) mayor, and opposition majority
- XXI., with a Fidesz-KDNP mayor, and no clear majority
- XXII., with a Fidesz-KDNP mayor, and opposition majority
In XXIII., the mayor's civil organization together with Fidesz-KDNP members have a majority.

Tarlós announced on 15 October 2019, that he won't take his seat.[9] This caused Attila Ughy (list position 15) to take his seat instead. Zsolt Wintermantel did not take either his seat on 28 October; he was replaced by Gábor Pintér, according to the request of the Fidesz–KDNP alliance.[10] Botond Sára (9.) and Tamás Hoffmann (11.) were elected into the local representative bodies in their districts, therefore they were excluded from the party compensation list.[11]
The opposition won a majority in the Assembly, breaking over 15 years of a Fidesz majority.
