Zohran Mamdani defeated the former governor of the state Andrew Cuomo

The state representative Zohran Mamdani won the first elections for the New York City Hall Wednesday (25), defeating the former government governor Andrew Cuomo, who recognized his victory.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist, is 33 years old and is an American Indian born in Uganda. With the support of the Democratic Party for the second phase of the elections, if you win, it will be the first Muslim mayor of New York.

The young politician defends the highest taxes to the rich and criticized the support of Donald Trump’s government in Israel in relation to the Gaza Strip, receiving support from Mrs. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders.

“We made the story,” said Mamdani, whose victory was recognized by the expert Cuomo.

“He won. It was not our night. It was Mamdani’s night,” said Cuomo, who was trying to return to the office after giving up the town hall in 2021 in the midst of a scandal of sexual harassment.
