Zohran Mamdani’s First Words as Mayor-Elect; DECLARES ‘Let’s Get to Work’ After Historic Win

After sealing a groundbreaking win, Zohran Mamdani took to X with a message that captured the weight of the moment, "Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let's get to work."

The 32-year-old Democratic socialist, who currently represents Queens in the state assembly, is now set to become the first Muslim and South Asian and the youngest person in over 100 years to lead America's largest city. In a video shared on X, Mamdani outlined his next steps, pledging to begin building a City Hall team capable of translating his campaign vision into governance. "These appointments will be driven by excellence, integrity and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions," he said, hinting at upcoming announcements for deputy mayors and commissioners.
