4:08Now PlayingZohran Mamdani took office as New York City’s 112th mayor, marking the culmination of his improbable, historic rise to power over the past year.
A 34-year-old democratic socialist born in Uganda, Mamdani becomes the city’s first mayor of South Asian descent, its first Muslim mayor and the youngest leader of the metropolis of nearly 8.5 million people in more than a century.
Mamdani was sworn in ceremonially by one of his mentors, US Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who praised the mayor for getting hordes of New Yorkers to work together on his insurgent campaign.
“New York, thank you for inspiring our nation,” Sanders said. “Thank you for giving us from coast to coast the hope and the vision that we can create government that works for all, not just the wealthy and the few.”
