New York — Just hours after taking the oath of office, newly elected Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a sweeping executive order revoking all executive orders enacted under former Mayor Eric Adams.
According to the mayor’s office, the decision immediately suspends previous administrative directives and initiates a comprehensive review of policies introduced by the former administration. Officials said the move is aimed at ensuring transparency, legal compliance, and alignment with the new mayor’s governance priorities.
In his first public remarks, Mayor Mamdani said the transition in leadership requires a reassessment of decisions that continue to shape city governance. “A change in administration is not only symbolic; it also demands accountability and a fresh evaluation of existing policies,” he stated.
Political analysts describe the move as a clear signal of a policy reset and an effort to distance the new administration from its predecessor. Critics, however, have cautioned that revoking all executive orders at once could temporarily disrupt administrative continuity.
Further details on which policies may be reinstated or amended are expected in the coming days.
