The February 2 special election will select former City Councilman Rory Lancman s successor

In the first ever ranked-choice voting election in New York, eight candidates are running to fill the City Council seat vacated by former councilman Rory Lancman, who recently took a job with the Cuomo administration.
Six of those running are South Asian, a community that, as candidate Deepti Sharma notes, has never had one of its members in the Council.
Moumita Ahmed, one of the eight candidates running in the Feb. 2 non-partisan special election for the New York City Council seat vacated by former Councilman Rory Lancman, who took a job in Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration, said during a debate on Tuesday that she supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Last week, she came under fire over an alleged antisemitic tweet.
“I support the two-state solution and I support people’s right to boycott,” Ahmed said during a virtual candidate forum hosted by the Citizens Union, Queens Daily Eagle and the Gotham Gazette. “In my district, there are differences of opinions when it comes to that, so I want to make sure that I protect people’s First Amendment right to boycott.”
