Michael Rosen shaves Zohran Mamdani to win Beard of Summer 2025 vote
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that as part of National Beard Week, the Beard Off Final vote has now concluded for the Beard of Summer 2025
There were two Close Shave Rounds of voting for the coveted seasonal accolade with a final Beard Off
Michael Rosen and Rishabh Pant won the first Close Shave Round and went to the Beard Off Final. Zohran Mamdani and Alexei Sayle won the second Close Shave Round.
The final Beard Off round saw 3,300 votes cast in the on-line poll with author and broadcaster Michael Rosen winning 40.4% against 28.2% for New York Democratic politician Zohran Mamdani. Comedian and activist Alexei Sayle came a close third with 23.7% of the vote
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we congratulate Michael Rosen on being voted the Beard of Summer 2025. His beard makes a big and positive public impact and may even be becoming invincible. Its interesting to note that both he and the runner up Zohran Mamdani are Arsenal fans, so its perhaps surprising the outcome wasn’t a draw
