\u201cBeing a politician means listening, not just to your supporters, but to your critics too,\u201d he said in the video. \u201cAnd some of these critics \u2013 especially on a certain website \u2013 have been giving me consistent advice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharing a series of posts on X telling the Queens congressman to \u201cgo back to Africa,\u201d Mamdani, who moved to the US when he was 7, joked that he was taking his trolls\u2019 advice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hear you, and I agree: I\u2019m going back to Uganda,\u201d he said, before adding, \u201cI\u2019m headed there in a personal capacity to celebrate Rama and I\u2019s marriage with our family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mamdani and Rama Duwaji, 27, an artist and animator, married in February this year, the would-be successor to Eric Adams revealed in a post on X in May.<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s campaign issued a statement about the visit to Uganda.<\/p>\n
