It was a special day for especially Muslims of New York, who saw for the 1st time in the history, of New York seeing a Muslim Mayor elected to the greatest city in the World, New York City.
As being a devout Muslim myself I am very happy seeing a Muslim mayor, being elected in my lifetime, alongside many more Muslims living in New York City.
Now with that said, many New Yorkers Voted for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, from all backgrounds, religious backgrounds.
He kept his campaign very simple, speaking the language of New Yorkers, who needed help with so many things. He kept his campaign simple and to the point.
Free Buses, Grocery Stores, Taxing the rich, Pre K for all, rent freeze for 2 years, fighting for Immigrants. This was the platform, Mayor Zohran Mamdani had ran on, and people liked what he said and voted him in.
Now if he is going to accomplish all of the above is another matter, but it seems his heart and soul is in the right place, and we will see what he can do in his term.
There were many firsts, for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, First Muslim Mayor, 2nd youngest mayor at age 34. First Asian Mayor and first Mayor from Africa and the list carries on.
112th NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani 1st Muslim inaugurated at City Hall NYC, January 1st 2026, took place at City Hall. Thousands in attendance to witness his swearing in ceremony and millions more watching on TV and watch parties throughout New York City, I personally was invited to over 15 watch parties, which I politely declined as I was interested in being in person at Mayor Mamdani’s inauguration.
Before Mayor Mamdani’s swearing in ceremony, there were 2 other political leaders who were sworn in: Mark Levine, 52nd New York City Comptroller, who was sworn in by sworn in by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Mr. Levine went on to say, he will make changes, to his office and will pledge his support to the mayor and work in hand in hand with him, to make New York a great city and affordable for all New Yorkers.
Jumaane D. Williams, the Public Advocate of the City of New York, won his 2nd and final term by a landslide. In a moving address, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams reflects on his journey and shares a powerful message of self-acceptance and community.
