Democratic Party candidate Zohran Mamdani was elected as the 111th mayor of New York City in the election held on Tuesday. He made history by defeating former New York State Governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. With this victory, Mamdani also became the city's first Muslim mayor.

Current New York City Mayor Eric Adams was also running for a second term as an independent candidate, but dropped out of the race last September.

It is worth noting that an estimated 1.7 million people have voted in the New York mayoral election in the United States as of 6 pm local time yesterday (5 am Bangladesh time today, Wednesday). This is the highest voter turnout in the last 30 years, according to the city's election board.

Nearly 1.9 million voters cast their ballots in the 1993 election. In that election, Republican Party candidate Rudy Giuliani defeated Democrat candidate David Dinkins and was elected mayor.

About 735,317 people voted early in this election, the highest number of early votes in New York City in any election other than the presidential election.

Voting for the election began yesterday at 6 am local time and ended at 9 pm (8 am Bangladesh time today, Wednesday). The counting of votes is scheduled to begin immediately after that.

Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani casts his vote at a polling station in the city's Astoria neighborhood. He has pledged to lower the cost of living in this election. He has received a lot of support from voters of all ages, including young people. His reflection was seen at the polling stations.
