Mamdani Sworn In As New York City's Mayor


(MENAFN- AzerNews) Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, was sworn in as New York City's first Muslim mayor on Thursday during a small ceremony with his family, Azernews reports.

The 34-year-old took the oath of office administered by New York Attorney General Letitia James at the old City Hall subway station, where he placed his hand on a Quran as he was being sworn in.

"This is truly the honor and the privilege of a lifetime," Mamdani, the youngest New York mayor in more than 100 years, said. He is due to be sworn in again later today at a larger ceremony on the steps of City Hall.
