Zohran Mamdani won the mayor’s race Tuesday with the help of the Working Families Party ballot line, which accounted for about 15% of his total votes citywide.
The 34-year-old democratic socialist and Queens Assembly Member will be New York City’s 111th mayor come January after securing just over 50% of the vote citywide and carrying four of the city’s five boroughs, unofficial Board of Elections results show, based on 97.98% of scanners.
Voter participation in this election reached more than 2 million ballots cast, marking the highest turnout in a mayoral race since 1969.
