Rama Duwaji, wife of mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, maintained a deliberate distance from his campaign, opting for a background role. While she supported him privately and contributed to campaign aesthetics, Duwaji avoided public political engagements and interviews throughout the election cycle. The 28-year-old artist did not make any social media posts seeking votes for her husband, did not do any joint television appearances agree to do any magazine profiles.
