NYC officially installs Zohran Mamdani as 112th mayor
Zohran Mamdani was sworn in as New York City’s 112th mayor in a private midnight ceremony at the abandoned Old City Hall subway station, with New York Attorney General Letitia James administering the oath. The event, held as the new year began, took place away from the public and traditional inauguration sites such as City Hall. The historic but closed station provided a distinctive backdrop for the formal transfer of mayoral authority, while officials did not release additional details on attendees, broader inaugural events, or policy announcements linked to the ceremony.
