“With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City History,” the state Assemblyman from Queens boasted on X.
The previous record for a Democratic mayoral primary has been held since 1989, when David Dinkins bested Ed Koch in a non-ranked-choice election with 547,000 votes.
In the 2021 democratic mayoral primary, Eric Adams received just over 404,000 votes in the final round of ranked choice — with around 50,000 of those votes getting transferred to him.
Mamdani’s totals are expected to grow as while a small percent of ballots are still being counted.
A campaign representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
