when does mamdani get sworn in

Zohran Mamdani is set to be sworn in as New York City’s mayor on January 1, 2026, with the official ceremony typically taking place at City Hall at midnight to transition into the new term, followed by a public inaugural event later that day. This aligns with NYC charter traditions that designate the start of the mayor’s term at 12:00 a.m. on January 1, and public events often occur later in the day with attendance from the outgoing mayor and the governor.
