Champagne socialist Zohran Mamdani weds wife at million-dollar compound owned by his wealthy parents
The Daily Mail ^ | 27 Jul 2025 | STEPHEN M. LEPORE

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani recently celebrated his wedding to his artist wife at a lavish compound owned by his family in Uganda.

Mamdani, 33, shocked the political world when he defeated Andrew Cuomo to win the Democrat nomination to run the Big Apple, campaigning on far left policy and drawing controversy for his anti-Israel views.

The state assemblyman recently took a break from the campaign to visit Uganda, where he was born and spent the first few years of his life being raised by his filmmaker mother Mira Nair and academic father Mahmood Mamdani.

The far-left Queens politician reportedly held a three-day celebration after he eloped with 27-year-old illustrator Rama Duwaji this past February.

Champagne Socialist!!! I love it.

It's actually a pretty old term. But a very, very underutilized one.

Let's be honest, is there a prominent Dem it doesn't apply to? AOC And Bernie are definitely classic 'champagne socialists'...

"Zohran Mamdani wants to 'ban all guns' and 'defund the police', and then flys to Uganda for his wedding celebration guarded by masked special forces at his family’s multi-million dollar compound. As always… Socialism for thee, not for me."

He married a woman?

That’ll hurt him in NYC.

“...being raised by his FILMMAKER mother Mira Nair and ACADEMIC father Mahmood Mamdani. “

Where did all the CASH come from? This guy is supposed to be a Trust Fund Baby with all of his campaign cash from the immediate family...and Soros, of course!

What are ‘Dear Old Mom’s’ films? Let’s see! Oh, yes - Mom has the CASH in that family!

“Mira Nair is an Indian-American filmmaker. Her production company is Mirabai Films. Among her films are Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love; Mississippi Masala; The Namesake; the Golden Lion–winning Monsoon Wedding; and Salaam Bombay!, which received nominations for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.”

Champagne wishes and caviar dreams, Comrades. The most common toast at Zoltan’s wedding.

If you read the whole article at your link, it states that the couple eloped to his family’s home in Uganda in February. Guess they wanted to get that done before the June primary.

“Mamdani, 33, eloped with artist and animator Rama Duwaji, 27, in February.”

This man’s got some cash to buy lots of champagne at his Family’s compound & then for his NYC constituents, too.

The bastard has no plans to give all his money to the collectivity as all good communists would. He plans to be part of the party elite which keeps its money while living high off the hog off our money.

He's a member of the Politburo. He'll overthrow the Bourgeoisie and he'll invite the Proletariat. That's why Socialists like Zohran Mamdani believe in open borders.

How nice! Now, he needs to do what the commies did in Dr. Zhivago and declare that according to the square footage, 100 families are entitled to share the house.

The guy has the weirdest grin and facial expressions when he grins. He looks totally phony. It’s an exaggerated grin, like he is saying: “Look how wonderful I am, so compassionate, so friendly”

Did you notice how he's always tilting his head to the right whenever he's photographed with someone?

Meanwhile, Zorhan Mamdani lives in a rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartment in Astoria, Queens, by his own account paying a monthly rent in the $2,000s (as of a 2019 tweet).

And, his mother lives in a $2 million luxury loft in Chelsea, the family owns a 4 acre compound in the wealthiest neighborhood near the Ugandan capital with military-style security, and another family home in Delhi, India.

Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams must use the lavish wedding to ask:

  1. How he qualified for rent-stabilized housing given his family's documented wealth; when did he obtain the apartment?

  2. What were his income/assets at that time?

  3. Is he the primary leaseholder, or did his now-wife have the apartment first?

The candidates must ask the voters whether if it is appropriate for someone with access to family properties worth $2+ million to occupy subsidized housing in New York City?

And then close the deal by asking the voters if they want to pay taxes for free busing and free grocery stores while the mayor is living in subsidized housing when his family is owns millions of dollars of property internationally?
