New York state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani has declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, leading with approximately 43% of the votes counted. Although former Governor Andrew Cuomo has conceded, the final decision remains unclear due to the ranked choice voting system, requiring further rounds of counting if no candidate achieves a majority. Mamdani, a democratic socialist supported by progressive figures like Bernie Sanders, aims to become the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of New York. Waiting for the complete outcome highlights the intricacies of New York City's voting process.
