Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says he will stay in the New York City mayoral race as an independent candidate.
This after his loss in the Democratic Party's primary election to self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
Cuomo said he decided to stay in a crowded field running against Mamdani, who has been criticised by U.S. President Donald Trump for his progressive views.
In a video, Cuomo said Mamdani "offers slick slogans but no real solutions."
Other candidates in the race are incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, also an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.
People opposed to Mamdani's progressive agenda, which includes higher taxes on the wealthy, have called for uniting behind a single candidate for the November election.
Cuomo resigned as New York governor in 2021 following a barrage of sexual harassment allegations. He denied wrongdoing.
