By Elias Biryabarema KAMPALA (Reuters) -When Zohran Mamdani inveighed against inequality and corruption during his underdog bid for New York City mayor, Joseph Beyanga at Uganda's Daily Monitor could hear echoes of conversations almost 20 years earlier with the then-intern on the newspaper's sports desk.

GOP Rep. Buddy Carter introduced the MAMDANI Act to block federal funding to New York City while socialist Zohran Mamdani serves as mayor after his election victory.

Within hours of Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York’s first Muslim mayor, there were swift and harsh reactions from his Jewish critics.

Mayor-elect Mamdani's win in New York is cheered by his London counterpart and a former mentor in Uganda, but draws a warning from Israel's U.S. ambassador.

A Houston police union targeted New York City officers with a recruitment campaign after Zohran Mamdani, who previously called to defund police, won the NYC mayoral race.

Zohran Mamdani wasted little time as mayor-elect of New York City before making clear that he sees part of his new role as standing up to the president of the United States, who had threatened not only to defund the city if he won but also to arrest and deport him.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner in the New York City mayoral race, marched under the bridge’s arches with elected officials, holding a banner that said, “Our Time Is Now.”

Frank Marte, president of the Bodegas and Small Business Group in New York City, which represents 3,000 bodegas, hairdressers and other small businesses, said he fears escalating tensions with Trump could lead to federal retaliation.
