Rama Duwaji proudly celebrated her husband Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City mayoral primary, sharing a heartfelt message and photos on Instagram.
Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Democratic mayoral primary winner Zohran Mamdani, shared a celebratory post on Instagram after it was clear her husband had won the polls.
On her caption, she wrote she “couldn’t possibly be prouder” of her husband after his surprising landslide victory over seasoned politician, Andrew Cuomo.
Duwaji posted a strip of photobooth pictures featuring the couple smiling and embracing, capturing a personal moment that quickly went viral. Supporters flooded Duwaji’s comment section with praise: “First Lady 👑,” read one comment. “Princess Diana of NYC inshallah 🙌,” said a fourth netizen.
On social media, Duwaji quickly became a crowd favorite, with New Yorkers giving her their seal of approval. “I totally understand if she doesn’t want to do this but I think the movement desperately needs Rama Duwaji to be the new and improved Jackie Kennedy,” one user wrote.
“Conservatives pretending that Rama Duwaji isn’t distractingly gorgeous has the same energy as when they said Hunter Schafer didn’t look like Princess Zelda. They live in a make believe world,” added another.
Mamdani’s campaign built a broad coalition of support across racial, economic, and religious lines. His platform calls for free public transit, higher taxes on the wealthy, and major investments in affordable housing. The result is seen as a major shift toward younger, progressive leadership in New York City.
As Mamdani looks ahead to the general election, Duwaji’s public pride and growing fan base add a personal touch to a campaign already defined by grassroots energy.
