"This election had a historic turnout, with more than 2 million votes cast the highest number in a mayoral election since 1969. Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who remained in the race until the very end despite immense pressure from Cuomo and others to drop out, came in third place with 7.16% (144,123). Mamdani will take office as mayor on New Year's Day, succeeding Eric Adams, who dropped out of the general election amid low poll numbers in late September and had recently endorsed Cuomo."
"Supporters of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani celebrate his projected victory in the 2025 NYC Mayor's Race on Nov. 4, 2025. Before a raucous crowd at the Brooklyn Paramount theater in Downtown Brooklyn, Mayor-elect Mamdani thanked those who turned out to vote for him as well as his campaign team for making what was an unlikely victory only a year ago a reality now."
Zohran Mamdani, 34, secured New York City's mayoralty with slightly over 50% of the vote (1,012,850) against independent former governor Andrew Cuomo's 41.6% (837,398). More than 2 million voters cast ballots, the highest mayoral turnout since 1969. Republican Curtis Sliwa finished third with 7.16% (144,123). Mamdani will be sworn in on January 1, succeeding Eric Adams, who withdrew from the general election amid low poll numbers and endorsed Cuomo. Mamdani, a Queens Assembly member and democratic socialist, will be the first Muslim mayor and the city's second-youngest mayor. He thanked supporters and pledged to improve the city daily.
