Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a 33- year old Queens lawmaker, has made history as New York City’s 111th mayor — becoming the first Muslim, first South Asian, and the youngest person in over a century to hold the office.
Zohran Mamdani, a Uganda-born, American naturalized citizen of Indian origin, didn’t miss the opportunity to showcase his Indian roots on his first day as the elected mayor.
