Zohran Kwame Mamdani is the winner of New York City’s mayoral race, making history as the first Muslim, first Indian-origin, and first African-born mayor of America's biggest city and financial capital.

Mamdani’s victory caps a meteoric rise for the once-underdog candidate, whose working-class message and personal charisma energised voters across New York’s five boroughs. 

His win also marks a major moment for the progressive Democrats at a time when the party is divided over how to counter US President Donald Trump.
