New York – June 25, 2025 – In a major political development, progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary. This announcement comes even as the ranked choice voting process is still underway.
Cuomo Concedes Early
Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, making a surprise return to the political stage, conceded defeat before the ranked choice votes were fully counted. “The people have made their decision,” Cuomo said during a brief speech in Manhattan.
Ranked Choice Votes Still Being Counted
Although the final certified results are pending, Mamdani leads significantly in first-round preferences. His campaign, centered on affordable housing, climate justice, and police reform, has resonated with younger and progressive voters across NYC.
Reactions from Across the Country
Several national political leaders have congratulated Mamdani, while others call for caution until final results are released. Experts say this marks a turning point for New York City’s political future.
