Zohran Mamdani has won the 2025 New York City mayoral race. The results became official shortly after polls closed on Election Day, with major outlets declaring him the winner based on early and full tallies as the evening progressed. He succeeds Eric Adams and is set to take office on January 1, 2026, becoming NYC’s first Muslim mayor and one of the youngest in decades. The general electoral process in NYC involves ranked-choice voting in primaries and a first-ppast-the-post approach for the general election.
