The winner of the New York City mayoral race has already been announced. Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, won the election held on November 4, 2025, becoming New York City's first Muslim mayor. He defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa. The final results were confirmed on election night with subsequent updates narrowing to a formal victory once all ballots were counted. This means the mayoral transition and any related swearing-in would follow the typical city process after certification later in November 2025.
