Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old New York State Assembly member representing Queens' 36th district, has emerged as a prominent figure in American progressive politics. Born in Kampala, Uganda, and son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani, he became the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for New York City mayor in 2025 after a stunning primary victory over Andrew Cuomo.
Mamdani's mayoral campaign centres on bold progressive policies including fare-free city buses, a $30 minimum wage by 2030, universal childcare, and 200,000 new affordable housing units. His platform also includes city-operated grocery stores, rent freezes on stabilised units, and comprehensive public safety reform. The candidate has drawn controversy for his sharp criticism of Israel's treatment of Palestinians, pledging to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York City in accordance with International Criminal Court warrants.
