The 34-year-old state assemblyman from Queens has risen from obscurity to national prominence with a bold, left-wing platform.

Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, capping the Democrat’s stunning ascent from little-known state lawmaker just a year ago to one of the most talked-about politicians in the country.

Zohran Mamdani has won a resounding victory in the New York mayoral election, heralding in a new era for the city as he promises to be “Trump’s worst nightmare”.

On Tuesday, voters elected Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, as the next mayor, according to network projections. He appeared in Queens earlier in the day to vote alongside his wife, Rama Duwaji.

Zohran Mamdani, the millennial socialist whose unabashedly left-wing campaign for Mayor of New York City unnerved many national Democrats but emboldened others, prevailed Tuesday as expected at the ballot box, installing him as leader of the nation’s largest city and a potentially powerful figure within a party looking for its next act.

The Uganda-born Mamdani will be the Big Apple's first Muslim and first socialist mayor, as well as one of the youngest.

Democrat Zohran Mamdani thanked his supporters in a a victory speech after his projected win in the New York City mayoral race defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani went on to wish Cuomo well, but said it was the final time he'd "utter his name.

Despite Trump's endorsement of Cuomo, Mamdani's victory drew over 2 million voters—the highest NYC mayoral turnout in three decades.
