Mr. Mamdani will become mayor of New York City on Thursday, carrying the hopes of the left, Muslims and younger voters as he looks to improve affordability.

Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign was an effort New Yorkers had never seen before -- an army of volunteers and ads that made use of the skills he learned at the feet of his mother, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Mira Nair. And while she didn't win the golden statue, her son did, ushering in a new generation wielding power at City Hall.

Zohran Mamdani is New York City's new mayor. Here's what to know about him, including his age and family life.

New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani shared insights on South African music and artists during a podcast with Trevor Noah, reminiscing about his time in Mzansi.

The mayor-elect’s past call to defund the city’s police department continue to be a vulnerability. His decision to retain Jessica Tisch, the city’s current police commissioner, has eased some concerns about a radical shakeup at the top of the nation’s largest police force.

During the political pair’s surprisingly cordial meeting at the White House last month, which took place after the two publicly traded blows for weeks, the president seemingly marveled over Mamdani’s looks, according to a new Mamdani profile in New York Magazine.

While the incoming administration has not commented, Mamdani is expected to name Kamar Samuels as the new schools chancellor.
