The 2025 Dearborn mayoral election took place on November 4, 2025. Incumbent Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who was first elected in the 2021 Dearborn mayoral election, ran for re-election against IT manager Nagi Almudhegi. Because only two candidates filed for the election, the primary election was cancelled.[1] Though the election was formally nonpartisan, Hammoud is a Democrat, and was a leader in the 2024 Uncommitted National Movement,[2] while Almudhegi is a Republican, and supported by prominent Michigan Republicans.[3] Hammoud was re-elected with 71.4% of the popular vote, an improvement of roughly 16.8% from his victory in the final round of the 2021 Dearborn mayoral election.
