Mandani wins election in New York and promises "the dawn of a better day for humanity."
Democrat Zohran Mamdani, who will become the first Muslim mayor in New York history to win more than 50% of the vote, has promised to lead "a resurrected city" and rule for all "without Islamophobia or anti-Semitism."
Zohran Mamdanihas made history in New York. The Democrat, of Ugandan origin and sonofimmigrants, has won the mayor's election with 50.4% of the vote.
Mamdani has thanked "taxi drivers, Mexican grandmothers, workers" and their parents for "making the man he is today," and has vindicated the role of the workers and the new generations to whom he has dedicated his victory. "Hope is still alive. The workers have made it clear that the future is in their hands," he said, "New York will be light at this moment of political darkness. "
The new mayor, who will take office on January 1, has insisted that he will be "the mayor of all," including the mayor of Jews and Muslims, and has called for all forms of discrimination to be left behind. "I will rise every morning to make the city a better place for you than the day before," he has promised.
In his speech, he has also responded to US President Donald Trump, who has accused him of being "communist" and threatened to cut federal money if the Democrats win. "Trump, I know you're listening. Raise the volume. To get to any of us, he will have to go through us."
"I'm young, Muslim and Democratic Socialist, and I don't have to apologize for that, "said Mamdani, who recalled that New York" will remain a city of migrants, built by immigrants and, from now on, guided by an immigrant. "
According to provisional results, Mamdani has won 50.4% of the vote, ahead of Andrew Cuomo (41.6%) and Curtis Sliwa (7.1%), and will be the youngest mayor in the city since 1892.
