The 2025 Atlanta City Council presidential election was held on November 4, 2025, to elect the Atlanta City Council President. Incumbent president Doug Shipman retired after serving one four-year term. City councilmember Marci Collier Overstreet won the election. The election was held concurrently with elections for city council, mayor, school board and the Georgia Public Service Commission.
Shipman was initially planning to run for re-election but ultimately decided against it in February 2025. He stated that he needed to focus on family health matters, and would not be able to properly fulfill the duties of the job over the next four years.
Malhotra was characterized as a progressive outsider, while Overstreet is generally considered an insider establishment candidate. In a debate, Overstreet described Malhotra's nonprofit business a crumbling failure. Malhotra responded by claiming Overstreet did not take her job seriously, as she had spent time in city council meetings taking selfies with other councilmembers.
