Brooklyn, New York: Report Manzoor Hussain

After winning a historic victory in the New York City mayoral primary election on Tuesday, June 24, Zohran Mamdani thanked the New Yorker, saying that New York is overwhelmingly Democratic and by electing me today, New Yorkers have proven that they are all democrats. And the people of New Yorkers have paved my way for success in the election in November. He said that with your help, I will not disappoint you after becoming mayor with the promises I made in the election campaign. Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has bold plans for New York City. He wants to establish a grocery store in the city, build more houses, run free buses and freeze the rents of subsidized tenants. And there are various welfare works that he wants to do that no one has paid attention to till date so that the lives of the common people can be made easier. He said that I am also a common man like you and can understand the problems and sufferings of common people. Mamdani did not back down, and he won, leaving behind former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who had more institutional support and was supported by record spending. Although the official results are not yet final, Mamdani leads Andrew Cuomo by more than seven percentage points with almost every vote counted, a lead that is expected to grow as the city’s ranked-choice voting system continues to count. Cuomo has conceded defeat, and Mamdani has declared victory, putting him on track to become the next mayor of America’s largest city. New York is overwhelmingly Democratic, so he is likely to comfortably win the November general election as the party’s nominee. According to the results, Zohran Mamdani surprised political circles across the United States, including New York, by winning more than 43 percent of the vote, more than seven percentage points more than his rival Andrew Cuomo. Zohran Mamdani, 33, will now run for mayor of New York City in the general election in November. He will face incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and four other candidates. The November election will not be based on ranked choice. The person who gets the most votes will be the next mayor. If successful, Zohran Mamdani would be New York’s first Muslim mayor. Born in Uganda, Zohran Mamdani has served in the state Assembly since 2021. Mamdani faced seemingly insurmountable odds in his campaign for the Democratic nomination. Not only did he initially lack funding, but his name recognition was also low. Few voters knew who he was, compared to the candidate he was running against: Cuomo, a former governor from a political family in New York. Cuomo’s father also served as governor, and heading into Tuesday’s race, he had received endorsements from prominent figures in the national Democratic Party, including former President Bill Clinton and lawmaker Jim Clyburn.
