Victory for democracy

In a remarkable development capturing the imagination of political observers across the globe, 33-year-old Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a Ugandan-born American of Indian Muslim descent, is poised to make history. Nominated by the Democratic Party for the mayoral race in New York City — its most iconic stronghold — Mamdani has emerged as a formidable symbol of generational change, progressive politics and the power of grassroots mobilisation. His rise should serve as an inspiration to younger generations globally, as young people are often sidelined by oligarchic politics nowadays. His journey proves that with vision, resolve and grassroots support, even the most entrenched political orders can be challenged.
