Zohran Mamdani throws lavish 3-day wedding bash in Uganda
The 33-year-old Mamdani and his bride, Rama Duwaji, 27, first hosted their engagement and wedding ceremony in Dubai back in December, followed by a civil ceremony in New York City. The latest celebrations took place in Uganda, Mamdani's birthplace, at the family's estate located in Buziga Hill, a wealthy suburb of Kampala, the nation's capital.
The report stated that the Buziga Hill neighbourhood is popular for its affluent residents, including prominent Ugandan billionaire Godfrey Kirumira. The Mamdani estate, perched on two acres of manicured grounds overlooking Lake Victoria, features a private residence with multiple security gates.

Security at the event was reportedly tight, and elite security forces were stationed around the property, and a cellphone-jamming system was in place to maintain privacy during the exclusive, invite-only affair.
'Outside the Mamdani house were more than 20 special forces command unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up — and all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani event,' one attendee told The New York Post. 'One gate had around nine guards stationed at it,' the source added.
