Cuomo Blasts Zohran Mamdani For Being Wealthy Landowner While Pushing For Abolition Of Private Property

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a hypocrite Friday for owning valuable Ugandan property while campaigning to abolish private property rights.

The Queens assemblyman owns vacant land in Jinja, Uganda, worth between $100,000 and $250,000, according to state and city financial disclosure filings. He has owned the property since 2012.

“Being a wealthy landowner with foreign investments, while holding a rent-stabilized apartment in the tightest housing market in the nation is the height of hypocrisy,” Cuomo told the New York Post.

Cuomo, who is running as an independent and trails Mamdani in recent polls, attacked his rival’s working-class persona.
