The precursor of socialist mayor NYC, Zohran Mamdani, celebrated his recent wedding with a sumptuous three -day case in the economical Ugandan complex and isolated from his family – with masked security agents and a system of mobile phone, the post has learned.
The doors of the animated private compound, which is in the rich region of Buziga Hill outside the capital of Kampala, were strongly kept by masked military style this week, with guests who spread and party until midnight, according to the city sources who wanted to remain anonymous for security reasons.
Mamdani, 33, fled with the artist and host Rama Duwaji, 27, in February.
He declared Sunday to his disciples on the social networks he was going to his homeland to celebrate with his rich filmmaker and Professor Papa, owner of the Buziga Hill property.
The district houses some of the richest in Uganda, including the billionaire businessman Godfrey Kirumira, a city magnate with real estate, tourism, oil and infrastructure issues, and houses Mamdanis who are easily closer to a million dollars.
The house is set back from the road and is on two acres of lush gardens surrounded by trees, has a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Victoria and includes at least three safety doors.
This week, it was transformed into a festive stamp, with Christmas lights flown into the canopy of trees in the garden and flaw music, sources said. Tuesday, buses, several Mercedes and a Range Rover 4 were seen going to the complex.
Security was extremely tight, sources said.
“Apart from Maison Mamdani was more than 20 guards of special forces command unit, some in the masks, and there was a telephone scholarship system – and everything for the strictly guest Mamdani event,” confirmed a witness to the post.
“A door had about nine guards stationed,” they added.
The parents of Mamdani, Nair, 67, and her husband, Mahmood Mamdani, 78, anti-Israeli political theorist, live in the field but also divide their time between New York and New Delhi. Nair’s Instagram page includes an article with a coconut planted at the birth of Mamdani.
Originally from Kampala, Mamdani moved to New York at the age of 7, becoming an American citizen in 2018. He had announced his marriage to Dawaji, an illustrator, earlier this year. The pair met on the dating application, Hinge and now shares an apartment stabilized rent in Astoria.
Thursday, revelers appreciated the fruit juices, a typical addition for Indian style events, as well as the dance to the music of a local DJ, sources told post.
A witness said that he had established the voice of the Democrat mayor’s democratic candidate on a microphone addressing guests later at night, the party ended after midnight.
“Friday, inside the complex, military style tents were withdrawn when the party had finished,” they added. “Then, which looked like Mamdani’s personal security guards took over at the doors.”
“Flowers have also been left in a pile on the ground near one of the safety doors.”
The property is isolated enough for some inhabitants not even aware of the three -day wedding extravagance.
“Local children watched Mamdani on television, and everyone was talking about him, but not marriage,” said another resident. “For us, it’s just a question of survival. We are just trying to win the bread and we assure that our families are fine.”
“We had heard that Mamdani was going to be mayor of New York, and he had succeeded in America,” added another. “We want to know now if we can get free visas in the United States and travel to New York like him.”
While the Mamdani family celebrated, the neighbors were in mourning for the former Ugandan Supreme Court judge George Kanyeihamba, who had experienced a stone throw from Mamdani Place and died on July 14.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni also came to pay tribute to Kanyeihamba and “the street was blocked by the president’s cars,” said a room.
Some have found Mamdani’s marriage “insensitive”.
“Due to culture here, it was insensitive to have a wedding celebration in the same week as mourning – or” okukungagaga ” – as it is called here,” said one of the post.
“People are still in mourning,” added the person, pointing to Kanyeihamba’s house, about three minutes from the Mamdani property.
“He was not even buried, and we have his friends who come to give the last words and cry before the burial next week, but Mamdani celebrates his marriage for three days,” continued the source.
It is not known if Museveni also attended Mamdani’s party.
Mamdani did not respond to a request for comments from the position.
The Queens assembly confirmed in an Instagram video that he would remain in Uganda until the end of the month.
“Since you will undoubtedly read this trip to the New York Post – Inhallah on the first page – there are some of my humble suggestions for the big titles,” joked Mamdani while holding a multitude of newspaper covers, which read, “Mia: Mamdani in Africa.”
