Zohran Mamdani Clinches NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary in Decisive Victory
In a significant political upset, Zohran Mamdani has secured the Democratic nomination for New York City Mayor, triumphing over former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo in the primary election held yesterday. The democratic socialist candidate won with a decisive 12-point lead in the final ranked-choice round, garnering 56.0% of the vote compared to Cuomo’s 44.0%.
The Associated Press called the race, confirming Mamdani’s upstart candidacy, which blended populist ideas with personal magnetism, successfully resonated with voters. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who came in third in the primary, has announced he will now run as an independent in the November general election, setting the stage for a compelling three-way race.
Mamdani’s victory marks a notable shift in New York City’s political landscape, signaling strong support for his progressive platform.
