Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will stay on the New York City mayoral ballot in November on an independent line, a source close to the campaign confirmed.

Eleven candidates are vying to win the Democratic primary for mayor in New York City, the second time that ranked-choice voting will be used in the mayor’s race. Polls have shown former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani as the two front-runners. The incumbent, Eric Adams, will run as an independent in November.

Zohran Mamdani delivered a political earthquake Tuesday in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, riding progressive demands for change in a city facing an affordability crisis to the brink of a stunning victory.
