Zohran Mamdani set to become Democratic candidate in New York mayoral race

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker, has declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after beating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a landslide win during the first round of voting.

“In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honoured to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City,” Mamdani tweeted early on Wednesday morning.
