History was made in the US yesterday as Zohran Mamdani was elected the first Muslim and far-left Mayor of New York. Following this landmark victory, public attention has turned towards his wife and the city’s new First Lady, Rama Dwaji.
Rama Dwaji, who is 28 years old, maintained a low profile throughout her husband’s campaign, deliberately keeping away from public events, debates, and rallies, and declining interviews. However, sources suggest her role behind the scenes was crucial. Her efforts were instrumental in defining Mamdani’s campaign identity and strengthening his social media presence.
Introducing Rama Dwaji:
- Age: 28 years.
- Background: She is a Syrian-American artist.
- Upbringing and Education: Dwaji was raised in Texas and completed her education in Dubai.
- Move to New York: She moved to New York City only four years ago.
With Zohran Mamdani’s election win, Rama Dwaji has become the youngest First Lady in the history of New York City. Within Mamdani’s circle of friends and political associates, Rama Dwaji is frequently described as an exceptional and highly influential personality.
