Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani is projected to win New York’s mayoral election, the BBC's US partner CBS reports. The 34-year-old will be the city’s youngest mayor in more than 100 years and the first Muslim and South Asian person to hold the position.

Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. The 34-year-old Democratic Socialist won handily Tuesday, besting ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa in a historic bid for Gracie Mansion. Mamdani won 49.6 percent of the vote with 60.2 percent of ballots counted.

Mamdani will be the youngest New York mayor in a century, NBC News projects, after a rapid rise past Andrew Cuomo and other opponents.

Zohran Mamdani, the millennial socialist whose unabashedly left-wing campaign for Mayor of New York City unnerved many national Democrats but emboldened others, prevailed Tuesday as expected at the ballot box, installing him as leader of the nation’s largest city and a potentially powerful figure within a party looking for its next act.

New York City mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani told MSNBC he supports BDS to pressure Israel's compliance with international law while promising to represent all New Yorkers as mayor.

Donald Trump has threatened to withhold funding from New York if Zohran Mamdani is elected as the city’s next mayor in Tuesday’s election.
