Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary earlier this year, won the New York City Mayoral polls, reported Reuters on Wednesday morning.

Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Party, was facing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, an independent candidate, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in the key mayoral election.

Voters came out in huge numbers Tuesday. According to the city’s Board of Elections, more than 2 million voters cast ballots — the first time that has happened in a New York mayoral race since 1969.

With this victory, Mamdani becomes the first Muslim leader in New York City, and its youngest Mayor in generations.
