Radical Democratic Socialist Mamdani elected New York mayor

Zohair Mamdani, the insurgent Democratic Socialist, won New York City’s mayoral race, capitalising on the liberal metropolis’ antipathy to President Donald Trump and economic angst.

Preliminary results on Tuesday night showed Mamdani, the Democratic Party candidate, winning about 50 per cent of the 2 million votes cast, to 41 per cent polled by former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing the party’s nomination to him in the June primaries.
