Rama Duwaji

Rama Duwaji is an artist and the wife of Zohran Mamdani, the newly inaugurated Mayor of New York City. Mamdani's swearing-in ceremony, where Duwaji held the Quran for his oath of office, marked a historic moment as he became the city's first Muslim mayor. Duwaji is currently newsworthy due to criticism surrounding her past work related to Palestine, which has surfaced following her husband's election. This criticism has led to scrutiny of Mayor Mamdani's response, with some supporters expressing disappointment. Her relevance stems from her position as the First Lady of New York City and the controversy surrounding her past work, which has implications for her husband's administration.
