Milan, Dec. 31 (LaPresse/AP) – Zohran Mamdani will become mayor of New York City at the stroke of midnight 2026, but the celebrations will last throughout the first day of the year. The Democrat’s team is organizing two separate swearing‑in ceremonies for tomorrow: a small private one with his family in an old subway station around midnight, followed by a large afternoon event that will include a public block party outside City Hall. Mamdani will take his first oath of office at the former City Hall subway station in Manhattan, one of the original stops in the city’s underground transport system, known for its tiled arches and vaulted ceilings. New York Attorney General Letitia James, a political ally and well‑known foe of President Donald Trump, will administer the oath. In a statement, Mamdani’s office said the choice of station reflects his “commitment to the workers who keep our city running every day.”
