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.

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

Zohran Mamdani has been elected mayor of New York City, defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.

Zohran Mamdani, a once unheralded state lawmaker from Queens whose affordability platform and charisma fueled a meteoric political rise, was elected on Tuesday as the 111th mayor of New York, according to The Associated Press.

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is traveling to Puerto Rico for an annual summit that brings New York's politicians and lobbyists to sunny San Juan for strategy meetings, workshops and boozy confabs.

Resident ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith is worried. In a nearly 3-minute-long rant on his SiriusXM show, “Straight Shooter,” Smith gave his thoughts on New York City’s election of Zohran Mamdani to be the next mayor.

Maya Handa joined NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's campaign in late July and she has worked for notable local and national progressive figures.

New York City's CEOs and other billionaires spent more than $40 million trying to defeat the mayor-elect. Now they have to live with him.
