Mayor Zohran Mamdani issues sweeping executive order that wipes out most EOs issued by Adams after indictment

Democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani wasted no time trying to erase his predecessor’s legacy — signing a sweeping executive order just hours after taking office that wipes out most of the orders issued by Eric Adams following his indictment.

“Today marks the first step in building an administration that works for all New Yorkers,” Mamdani, 34, said at his first press conference as mayor.

“We’ve established the foundations of it, and now it’s time to deliver on our affordability agenda, tackle the challenges facing New Yorkers, and user in a new era for New York city — on that proves that government can deliver for working people.”

The move — one of two executive orders Mamdani signed in Brooklyn Thursday — will revoke all executive orders issued by Adams after Sept. 26, 2024, to ensure a “fresh start” for his incoming administration.

Adams made history on Sept. 25, 2024, when he became the first sitting Big Apple mayor to be indicted. He was accused of allegedly taking Turkish government funds to greenlight a Turkish consulate in Manhattan.

“That was a date that may New Yorkers decided politics held nothing for them but more of the same,” Mamdani said.

The historic federal corruption case against Adams was dropped by President Trump’s Department of Justice rather than the White House issuing a pardon.

The mayor explained certain orders might be reinstated if his administration deems them essential to “delivering continued service, excellence, and value-driven” leadership.”
