Zohran Mamdani Makes History as NYC’s First Muslim Mayor
In a stunning victory on November 4th, Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old assemblyman, won the New York City mayoral race. He defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability and challenged the status quo with a democratic socialist platform. This historic win makes him the first Muslim and democratic socialist leader of America’s largest city, signaling a significant shift in the political landscape.
