Zohran Mamdani has made New York City history with his ascendant election victory Tuesday night, ABC News projects. New Yorkers chose Mamdani to become the city's 111 th mayor, and with that title Mamdani will represent several firsts in the city's three-and-a-half-century existence.

Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

Zohran Mamdani defeated former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a generational battle between Democrats in the New York City mayor's race.

The results of the mayoral race that skyrocketed to national attention are in: 34-year-old Zohran Mamdani is projected to be the next mayor of New York City.

Zohran Mamdani, 34, is the projected winner of New York City's race for mayor in a contest that rallied young voters and sparked debate about the future direction of the Democratic Party.

Zohran Mamdani gives his victory speech after winning the New York City mayoral election on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who is set to become the city’s most liberal mayor in generations.

On Tuesday, voters elected Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist, as the next mayor, according to network projections. He appeared in Queens earlier in the day to vote alongside his wife, Rama Duwaji.

Zohran Mamdani’s ascent was powered by a relentless focus on affordability. Along the way, he energized South Asian and Muslim communities that rarely receive sustained attention from politicians.
