Zohran Mamdani Makes History as NYC's First Muslim Mayor at Age 34, Winning Over 50% of the Vote. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS [View all]
In an historic New York City election, 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani has been elected the city’s 111th mayor — making him both the first Muslim mayor in NYC history and the youngest in over a century.
The progressive Queens assemblyman defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa in a stunning upset that marks a major shift in city politics. Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability, rent freezes, free childcare, and public transit, drawing massive grassroots support from young voters and working-class communities across the five boroughs. - 11/05/2025.
