Zohran Mamdani, 34, has been elected mayor of New York City, several news media organisations projected on Tuesday night.

With 90% of votes counted, Mamdani had won 50.4% of them, compared to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s 41.6% in a closely fought contest.

A year after he launched his campaign for mayor as a little-known state assemblyman, Mamdani is set to become the first Indian-origin leader and the first Muslim to lead America’s richest and largest city. Born to filmmaker Mira Nair and academic Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran Mamdani cut his teeth in New York City politics as a community organiser and campaign manager.
