Zohran Mamdani has already won the most recent New York City mayoral election, so there is no ongoing race right now to predict a future winner for.

What happened in the NYC mayor race?

  • The latest New York City mayoral election was held on November 4, 2025.
  • Democratic state assemblymember Zohran Mamdani won that election and became mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo and other candidates.
  • Polls in late October 2025 showed Mamdani with a solid lead over Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa among likely voters, which matched the final outcome.

So who will “win” the NYC mayor election?

Because the 2025 race is over and Mamdani is the elected mayor, there is no unresolved current NYC mayoral election to forecast.

Any discussion about “who will win” would now refer to a future election (for example, the next regular mayoral race in 2029), and there is not yet reliable polling or a confirmed candidate field to make meaningful predictions about that.

Key names and context

  • Zohran Mamdani: Progressive Democratic state assemblymember who secured the nomination and then the general election.
  • Andrew Cuomo: Former governor who mounted a comeback bid and was a major contender but ultimately lost to Mamdani.
  • Curtis Sliwa: Republican candidate who trailed in both polls and the final result.

Why predictions were tricky before the vote

  • Late-campaign polling gave Mamdani around a 10‑point lead over Cuomo, but also showed a nontrivial share of undecided voters, leaving some room for uncertainty.
  • Commentators pointed to factors like Mamdani’s strength with younger voters, Cuomo’s support among older and more moderate voters, and backlash to Cuomo’s past controversies as key dynamics shaping the outcome.
