Acting mayor means that when the mayor is unable to perform his duties for special reasons, an official temporarily takes over the mayor's work until the mayor returns. This is a common emergency measure to ensure the normal operation of municipal work.

Acting mayor needs a high degree of political literacy, fluent communication skills, excellent leadership and management skills and many other conditions. In addition, the acting mayor needs to be clear about the current situation and development trend of municipal work and be able to respond flexibly to various emergencies.

The significance of acting mayor lies in ensuring the continuity and stability of municipal work. When the mayor is temporarily unable to perform his duties or needs to take a vacation for some reason, the acting mayor will take over the municipal work to avoid the interruption of municipal affairs. At the same time, the acting mayor can deepen his understanding of municipal work and further improve his management ability and quality.
