According to the commission, Adams received 50.5 percent of the vote, followed by Catherine Garcia, who received 49.5 percent.
Eric Adams, 60, is the Brooklyn borough chief who retired as chief of police in 2006, becoming a senator.
He will face Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa in the mayoral elections, to replace outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio, the winner of them.
It is estimated that there are 7 Democratic voters against every Republican voter in New York, which is the stronghold of Democrats.
Consequently, the chances of Republican candidate Sliwa are very weak against his Democratic opponent, Adams.
