Mamdani's win symbolizes hope and marks the start of a new era, ending a political dynasty and ushering in a mandate for transformative governance.

In a momentous victory speech, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made history as the first South Asian and Muslim to lead the city, defeating political heavyweights, including Republican Curtis Sliwa and former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
