Zohran Kwame Mamdani (born October 18, 1991) is an American politician, activist, and musician, and since November 2025, the mayor-elect of New York City. A member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), he previously served in the New York State Assembly from 2021 to 2025, representing the 36th district in Astoria, Queens. Mamdani will become New York's first Muslim mayor, first South Asian mayor, second democratic socialist mayor after Fiorello La Guardia, and the youngest since 1892. Early Life and Education Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to the noted academic Mahmood Mamdani and acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair. His father was a Gujarati Muslim, born in Bombay and raised in Uganda, while his mother is a Punjabi Hindu from Rourkela, India; thus, he received a very cosmopolitan upbringing, steeped in academia and art. His middle name, Kwame, is in honor of Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first president and a symbol of African independence. The family moved to Cape Town, South Africa, when Zohran was five, and then to New York City when he was seven. He grew up in Morningside Heights, attending the Bank Street School for Children and then The Bronx High School of Science, where he helped found the school's first cricket team. Mamdani graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine in 2014 with a bachelor's in Africana studies, which is also where he co-founded a campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine.
