Zohran Mamdani, a socialist candidate for New York City mayor, recently celebrated his marriage to artist Rama Duwaji with a lavish three-day wedding at his family's compound in Uganda. The event, marked by tight security and exclusive guest lists, drew criticism for its extravagance and timing, as it coincided with a period of national mourning in Uganda. Mamdani, who rose to prominence after defeating Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary, has faced scrutiny over his political views, legislative record, and the limited public presence of his wife during his campaign. Duwaji, known for her pro-Palestine artwork, has since stepped into the spotlight, supporting her husband as he campaigns on a platform of progressive reforms and controversial policies.
