Zohran Mamdani is set to be sworn in as New York City's mayor on January 1, 2026, with two ceremonies planned. The first, a private oath at midnight in the historic, decommissioned City Hall subway station, reflects a commitment to working people. The second, a public event at City Hall, will include a block party. Mamdani will be the first Muslim, first South Asian, and first African-born mayor, and will place his hand on the Quran for both ceremonies, a historic first for the city.
