Sadiq Khan, Zack Polanski and Zarah Sultana among figures on the left praising the mayor-elect as they look at potential blueprint for elections in UK
Leftwingers in UK politics have been cheered by the election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York. Here is some of the reaction.
This is from Sadiq Khan, the Labour mayor of London, who, like Mamdani, is the first Muslim to be mayor of the city he governs and who, like Mamdani, has attracted particular hostility from Donald Trump.
New Yorkers faced a clear choice - between hope and fear - and just like we’ve seen in London - hope won.
Huge congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani on his historic campaign.
