Hello, I'm Luke Jones.

Welcome to the documentary from the BBC World Service.

In BBC OS conversations, we bring people together to discuss major stories that affect their lives.

This time, we're hearing from supporters of New York's

newly elected mayor, Zahamam Darni. He's an immigrant, he is Muslim and a self-proclaimed

democratic socialist. Zoroamam Dani is also, at just 34 years old, the city's youngest mayor in a century.

Famed for his charisma and with millions of views on social media,

the Democratic candidate campaigned on a platform that included reducing the cost of living,

providing free child care, and levying new taxes on millionaires and corporations.

New York, tonight you have delivered a mandate for change.

A mandate for a new kind of politics.

A mandate for a city we can afford.

Later, we'll hear from two women about the financial challenges of living in New York City,

and three American Muslims discuss why Mamdani's election matters so much to them.

In his victory speech, Mamdani made a point of thanking the voters he says have been left behind by the city.

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuela.

Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses.

Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.

Yes, aunties.

For our first conversation, my colleague, Rathald Tandon, brought together Fadilla, a carer originally from Sierra Leone.

Choki, from Nepal.
