Young people in Ugandas capital are expressing hope that Zohran Mamdanis leadership in New York could inspire a shift in attitude among their generation back home, where unemployment and political stagnation remain pressing challenges.
Some residents say Mamdanis rise sends a powerful message to Ugandan youth.
I really hope that having people like Mamdani taking leadership in big cities like New York could change something among young people in Uganda, said Muhammed Acram Juuko, a Kampala resident.
