Cuomo conceded last night after results showed Mamdani with a clear lead. Mamdani ran a campaign centred on taxing the wealthy and providing all New Yorkers with free public buses, universal childcare, freezing rent and city-run grocery stores.

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral primary race, overtaking the disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo.

Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist, will likely become the city’s mayor in November’s election, as the primary race tends to determine the outcome of that election.
