Mamdani reveals mission statement after New York Mayoral Election: 'It's going to be what we did after we won'

In a historic move, Zohran Mamdani has won the mayoral election in New York City, declaring “it’s going to be what we did after we won” as his guiding motto.

The 34-year-old state assemblyman, hailed as the city’s first Muslim and first South Asian mayor, triumphed with just over 50 per cent of the vote, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

His campaign was powered by a surge of young and progressive voters, drawn in by bold promises on affordability, housing and transit. The real test now, Mamdani says, lies in turning victories into action.
