New York : Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old Indian-origin democratic socialist, pulled off a stunning victory in the fiercely contested New York city mayoral elections, riding on an electrifying campaign to become the first South Asian, youngest and Muslim to helm the administration of the world’s financial capital on Wednesday November 5, 2025(IST) .

Mamdani, the son of Indian filmmaker Mira Nair and Indian-origin scholar Mahmood Mamdani, defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, promising to usher in a new wave of progressive politics and focusing on working-class issues including increasing costs of living.

His victory in the closely-watched contest to become 111st mayor of the largest American city in January assumed greater political significance as President Donald Trump is a native New Yorker who has consistently warned people not to vote for Mamdani.
