Even though Zohran Mamdani — a Democratic socialist Queens lawmaker — appears to have decisively won last week’s Democratic mayoral primary, his margin of victory will not become entirely clear until Tuesday when the city Board of Elections is set to run ranked-choice voting tabulations.
Mamdani was ahead in the first round of votes with 44% — up roughly 8% from runner-up former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, came up with 36%. Cuomo conceded the race on Election Night.
