Democrats win in NYC
Bristol Post
|November 06, 2025
ZOHRAN Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.
-
In a victory for the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Mr Mamdani defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mr Mamdani must now navigate the unending demands of America’s biggest city and deliver on ambitious campaign promises. With the victory, the democratic socialist will etch his place in history as the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the first born in Africa.
“The conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologise for any of this,” Mr Mamdani declared to a roaring crowd at his victory party.
