Zohraan Mamdani was sworn in as the mayor of New York City, becoming the first in the city’s history to take the oath of office on the Holy Quran. The ceremony took place in an abandoned subway station, where Mamdani used a 200-year-old copy of the Quran borrowed from the New York Public Library. The event was conducted by New York Attorney General and political ally Letitia James. Mamdani’s swearing-in marks several firsts for the city: he is the first Muslim, the first of South Asian descent, and one of the youngest mayors in generations. He described the moment as the greatest honor and privilege of his life. Later, he is scheduled to take a more formal oath at City Hall, administered by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders. The subway station, built during America’s “Golden Age,” was chosen to symbolize the beginning of a new era. Mamdani previously stated that the location reflects the city’s legacy of ambition and transformation for working people. He won the mayoral election on November 4, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa by a wide margin.
