Zohran Mamdani, a New York State Assemblyman and rising Democratic Socialist figure, returned to his birthplace of Uganda earlier this month. Not for a campaign pause or family visit, but to celebrate his wedding—already formalised earlier this year—with artist and animator Rama Duwaji.

Following Zohran Mamdani’s stunning victory in the Democratic primary earlier this month, the spotlight has turned to his family’s ties to anti-Israel groups. His father sits on the advisory council of the recently formed London-based Gaza Tribunal, which accuses Israel of committing genocide.

Mahmood Mamdani, the New York mayoral candidate's father, rejected viewing suicide bombings as a "mark of barbarism" in a 2004 book.

NYC socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani outlined his "unabashed" support for BDS sanctions against Israel which he drawn criticism from Jewish groups nationwide.
