New York City was all set to elect a new mayor on Tuesday as the mayoral race entered its final lap, with Indian-descent Zohran Kwame Mamdani emerging as the front-runner to take up the top political post in America’s biggest city.
Mamdani, 34, born in Uganda and raised in New York City, is a New York State Assembly member and democratic socialist running for Mayor. The Democratic nominee will face off against former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent candidate and the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa on the ballots. Current New York City Mayor Eric Adams, whose administration has been plagued by scandals, dropped out of the mayoral race in September.
US President Donald Trump has warned voters that New York City will be a “complete and total economic and social disaster” and its “survival” will be at risk if Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the mayoral race, as he officially endorsed former governor Andrew Cuomo for the city’s top post.
In a post on Truth Social on election eve on Monday, Trump also threatened that he would send only the minimum-required federal funds to New York City if Mamdani wins the election and becomes the mayor. November 4 is election day across the US. The early voting period , which commenced on October 25, ended on Sunday.
Mamdani, the son of renowned Indian filmmaker Mira Nair and Mahmood Mamdani, a Ugandan author of Indian ancestry, upset Cuomo in the Democratic primary race for New York City mayor and was declared victorious in June. He has emerged as the front-runner in the NYC Mayoral election race and has promised to ‘lower costs and make life easier” for New Yorkers as the city gets “too expensive”.
