WASHINGTON — Democrat Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor of New York City.
Mamdani defeats former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. He will replace Mayor Eric Adams, who dropped his reelection bid in September but remained on the ballot.
Mamdani is a far-left anti-Israel activist and 34-year-old state assemblymember who will be the city’s youngest mayor in over a century.
He entered the general election as the favorite following a 12-point victory in the ranked choice Democratic primary earlier this year.
