New information comes to light that could prevent Zohran Mamdani from being sworn in as New York’s 111th mayor
Hortenstine’s finding has been confirmed by a research conducted by historian Peter R. Christoph who wrote, “Edward I. Koch is the 105th Mayor of New York. The City Of New York Official Directory says so. So does The New York Times. But they are wrong: He is the 106th.”
In his 1989 essay, Record of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, Christoph added, “Not only is he misnumbered, but so is everyone else after Mayor No. Seven. It is a mind-boggling thought: 99 mayors misnumbered, most of them gone to the grave, secure in the knowledge of their place in history, but all of them numerically out of whack.
“How could such a thing happen?”
We are yet to see how New York lawmakers will respond to Hortenstine’s request.
