Two top candidates seeking to lead the New York City Council both claimed Tuesday they had won the contest, throwing the race into a state of uncertainty in its final weeks.

Councilwoman Adrienne Adams (no relation to Mayor-elect Eric Adams) announced Tuesday afternoon she had clinched the speaker’s race, earning enough votes in the 51-member legislative body.

“Today is a historic day for New York City. After much discussion and collaboration with my colleagues, I am honored to have received the necessary votes to become the next Speaker of the New York City Council,” the southeast Queens councilwoman said about 1:30 p.m. in a press release. “I promise to be a leader for every Council Member and I look forward to bringing the Council together.”

But an hour later, the other speaker front-runner, Francisco Moya (D-Elmhurst), who is believed to be supported by the mayor-elect, also declared victory.

“I am humbled to announce that our diverse coalition of Council Members and leaders from across New York City has collected a majority of votes to elect the next speaker of the Council,” he said at 2:50 p.m. in a tweet. “I look forward to leading this body into a brighter future for our great city.”

Neither speaker hopeful provided a list of names whose support they were including in their postulated 26-member majorities needed to seal the deal.

The vote for council speaker — who sets the body’s lawmaking agenda, selects committee chairs and members and leads negotiations on the city budget — will not come until early January, when a new council term begins. The lawmaker will succeed Council Speaker Corey Johnson (D-Chelsea), who is term-limited, like a majority of the current members of the body.

Tuesday’s dueling proclamations come after the race had winnowed in recent days.

Earlier Tuesday, several candidates vying to helm the council — members Justin Brannan (D-Bay Ridge), Keith Powers (D-Midtown/East Side), Diana Ayala (D-East Harlem) as well as Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, who is returning to the body in 2022 to represent the Upper West Side — dropped out of the race and backed Adams. Councilwoman Carlina Rivera (D-Lower East Side) remains in the race.

Adams — a 61-year-old from Jamaica, Queens, who formerly chaired Queens’ Community Board 12 — would be the first black Big Apple council speaker. Moya, 47, is a former member of the state Assembly, representing parts of Queens in Albany from 2011 to 2017 before being elected to the City Council.
