In a stunning turn of events, Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the Mayor of New York City, marking a historic victory as the first South Asian and Muslim to hold the position. His election represents a new direction for the city, famously known for its immigrant roots.

Mamdani, who emerged triumphant against formidable candidates including former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, emphasized his agenda focused on advocating for immigrant communities, challenging corruption, and dismantling the power structures that allowed figures like Donald Trump to rise.
