Zohran Mamdani's historic victory in New York's mayoral election has sent shockwaves across the globe, resonating with liberal politicians outside the US who see it as a beacon of hope in combating the rise of right-wing populism. The 34-year-old's win has been hailed as a testament to the power of youth, energy and dynamism in politics.
From India to France, Britain, and even Israel, Mamdani's victory has been met with a mix of excitement and curiosity. Abhishek Manu Singhvi, an opposition figure in India, credited Mamdani's win to liberal values thriving in Donald Trump's US. Similarly, the Times of India noted that Mamdani had quoted India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, in his victory speech, highlighting the international appeal and recognition he has garnered.
The liberal mayor of Budapest, who is also a close ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an outspoken critic of liberal values, was spotted taking notes from Mamdani's campaign. Meanwhile, Labour politicians in the UK have seen parallels between Mamdani's victory and their own efforts to combat right-wing populism.
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, who has faced similar hostility from Trump, congratulated his US contemporary, praising New Yorkers for choosing hope over fear. However, unlike Mamdani, who is a newcomer to politics, Khan is a seasoned career politician.
Labour politicians such as Luke Charters and Jeremy Corbyn have praised Mamdani's grassroots campaign and radical ideas about making cities more affordable. The French politician Manon Aubry highlighted the media establishment's attempts to block his path, but credited him with successfully turning the tables with concrete proposals.
Despite some reservations in Israel, where Mamdani has accused the country of carrying out a genocide, many have welcomed the new New York mayor as a champion of progressive values. His commitment to fighting antisemitism and reaching out to Jewish communities has been particularly noteworthy.
In contrast, Trump's eleventh-hour smear campaign against Mamdani has backfired, with CNN exit polls suggesting that Mamdani may have won over as many as one in three Jewish votes. As the world watches with interest, Zohran Mamdani's victory serves as a reminder that liberal values can thrive even in the face of adversity and xenophobia.
