Zohran Mamdani is the current mayor-elect for New York City, having won the 2025 mayoral race and taking office in January 2026. He succeeds Eric Adams, who withdrew from re-election in 2025. Mamdani, a 34-year-old Democratic state assemblyman and self-described democratic socialist, is set to become the youngest NYC mayor in over a century and the first Muslim mayor of the city. These results were reported by multiple outlets upon the November 2025 election, with projections confirming his victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
