New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday announced an all-female team of co-chairs for his transition team, including former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan.

One day after Zohran Mamdani was elected New York City mayor, the 34-year-old democratic socialist announced his five-member transition team of all women.

Mamdani became the first Muslim person to be elected mayor of New York City after being heavily criticized for his stance toward Israel. Mamdani refused to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which has been used as both a rallying cry for Palestinian rights and a call for violence against Israelis.

Zohran Mamdani said he would begin preparing to deliver on his ambitious affordability agenda, one day after claiming a historic victory in New York City's mayoral race

After Zohran Mamdani successfully completed his historic bid for mayor of the country's largest city on Tuesday night, he was joined onstage by his wife Rama Duwaji. In his speech, Mamdani thanked Duwaji, saying, "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment and in every moment."

National figures are competing in different ways to make Mamdani a Democratic symbol amid a consequential next chapter of his rise: running New York City.

Zohran Mamdani stormed to victory in the New York City mayoral elections with a pledge to improve the quality of life for the city’s eight and half million residents.
