New York City Mayor Eric Adams made clear he wasn’t going anywhere on Wednesday after news broke that he was being indicted on charges connected to a federal probe.

“If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit,” he said in a statement to The Post.

“Make no mistake, you elected me to lead this city and lead it I will,” Hizzoner said in a separate video statement.

Adams can still serve in his position while under federal indictment.

The only person who can replace Adams is Gov. Kathy Hochul. She has the power to take the extraordinary action to remove him from office before his term is up.

But a source told The Post there is no chance Hochul would make that move.

If Adams were to leave office early following his federal indictment, he would be replaced by Public Advocate Jumaane Williams.

Williams, a progressive Democrat who has been the public advocate since 2019, would take over as acting mayor and be in charge of setting the date for a special election.

The next in line after Williams is Comptroller Brad Lander, a Democrat and Adams’ rival running for mayor next year.

The special election would only be set if it’s 90 days before the upcoming primary election that’s in June 2025, an election lawyer told The Post.

Williams would need to mark a date for a special election on the first Tuesday at least 80 days from when he assumed power, according to the city charter.

A special election would be nonpartisan, and there would be no primaries.

Candidates would appear on the ballot without party affiliation.  

Adams, who was sworn in at the start of 2022, is facing a tough re-election fight with a number of candidates jumping into the primary next June.
