"Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani flashed a beaming smile in a cringeworthy photo with a top Ugandan official who pushed harsh anti-LGBT policies - that included life imprisonment for gay people. Mamdani met with Kadaga in July during a break from the campaign trail - after winning the Democratic primary - that included a lavish celebration of his recent nuptials at a secluded Ugandan compound owned by his family."
""Delighted to meet with Zohran Mamdhani (sic), incoming Mayor of New York City. Good luck in the next phase of elections," Kadaga said in a caption of a photo of her with a grinning Mamdani. "Here with Zohran Mamdhani and Prof Mamdhani as Zohran returns to New York after his traditional wedding in Kampala," she gushed in another photo of her, Mamdani and his father, Columbia University Professor Mahmood Mamdani."
Zohran Mamdani met with Rebecca Kadaga in July during a campaign break after winning the Democratic primary, including a private celebration at a family-owned Ugandan compound. Photographs of the meeting re-emerged and the Mamdani campaign said he was unaware of Kadaga's widely reported anti-gay stance. In 2012 Kadaga supported legislation described as imposing severe penalties against practicing homosexuals, calling it a "Christmas gift." The Ugandan government passed a 2024 law criminalizing consensual same-sex conduct with penalties up to life imprisonment; an initial draft proposed the death penalty for "aggravated homosexuality."
