where was mamdani born and raised

Zohran Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, and he was raised there until his family moved first to Cape Town, South Africa, then to the United States (New York City) when he was seven. Mahmood Mamdani, Zohran’s father, was born in Bombay, India, and grew up largely in Uganda, with the family later relocating within East Africa before settling in Uganda for much of Zohran’s early life. These details establish the birthplace and early upbringing for both figures.
