Nov. 5 (UPI) -- One day after Zohran Mamdani was elected New York City mayor, the 34-year-old democratic socialist announced on Wednesday his five-member transition team of all women.
Mamdani, who was a member of the state General Assembly since 2021, will enter City Hall on Jan. 1 as New York City's 111th mayor.
"The poetry of campaigning may have come to a close last night at 9, but the beautiful prose of governing has only begun," he said in front of the Unisphere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. "The hard work of improving New Yorkers' lives starts now."
Named as co-chairs were former Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan, former deputy mayors Maria Torres-Springer and Melanie Hartzog and United Way of New York City leader Grace Bonilla.
