People across the country are still learning about Zohran Mamdani, who stunned the political world and is poised to become the Democratic nominee for NYC mayor after sweeping past Andrew Cuomo.

As Mamdani’s campaign reshapes the political landscape in New York, increased attention has turned to his wife. An artist and illustrator, Duwaji has built a body of work that is deeply personal, often political, and rooted in a commitment to storytelling across diasporas and displacement.

Rama Duwaji, 27, married Mamdani a few months ago at the City Clerk’s office, a few years after they met on Hinge in 2022. Mamdani took to Instagram to share his infatuation with his wife after their wedding.
