US: Zohran Mamdani poised to become New York’s first Muslim mayor

It’s the day New Yorkers cast their ballots. Zohran Mamdani, only 34, is emerging as a charismatic figure in the city’s mayoral race. Representing the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, he’s campaigning on bold promises to tackle the high cost of living, expand free childcare, and make public transport more accessible. If elected, Mamdani would become New York City’s first Muslim mayor, signalling a historic moment in the city’s politics, as Jessica Le Masurier explains from New York.
