Zahran Madani, known for his strong opposition to US President Donald Trump, officially took office as Mayor of New York today, Thursday, following his victory in the elections held last November, based on a program with leftist orientations.
Madani, who is considered the first Muslim mayor in the history of New York, took the oath of office on a copy of the Holy Quran, inside a historic metro station in Manhattan, during a brief ceremony supervised by the New York State Attorney General, Letitia James, known for her sharp disagreement with Trump.
