Assembly member Zohran Mamdani beat former Governor Andrew Cuomo 56.4% to 43.6% after three rounds of ranked-choice voting, in a primary where more than a million Democrats voted. Cuomo conceded on election night; the Board of Elections' ranked-choice tally confirmed the upset on 1 July.

Mamdani won 50.78% of the vote, 1,114,184 ballots to independent Andrew Cuomo's 906,614 and Republican Curtis Sliwa's 153,749, in the biggest mayoral turnout in more than 50 years. He becomes the city's first Muslim mayor and its youngest in over a century.
