In the Ghanaian political landscape, there are individuals whose energy, vision, and dedication stand out. One of such individuals is Masawudu Mubarick. With a deep commitment to national development and a passion for serving his people, Masawudu embodies the kind of leadership that H.E John Dramani Mahama, President of the Republic, needs to successfully execute the “Resetting Ghana” agenda.

As the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the President kickstart our next phase of governance, it is important to recognize and consider young, dynamic leaders like Masawudu Mubarick, leaders who bring both expertise and an unwavering connection to the grassroots.

A Visionary in the Energy Sector

Masawudu Mubarick is no stranger to innovation and forward-thinking leadership.
As the current President of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Chamber of Producers and Suppliers, he has been at the forefront of advocating for economic integration and promoting African trade across borders.

His role in this important continental initiative highlights his exceptional leadership, strategic thinking, and his dedication to making Africa a global player in trade and commerce.

However, it is his remarkable work in the energy sector that has truly cemented his reputation as one of the brightest minds of his generation. As the brain behind NewGen Energy Solutions Ltd, a company providing cutting-edge solar energy and energy management services, Masawudu has been instrumental in driving Ghana’s energy sector towards sustainability and innovation.

In a time when climate change and sustainable development are critical issues, his expertise in renewable energy solutions has made him a sought-after expert in this field.

Strong Roots in the NDC

Masawudu’s dedication to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been unwavering, even in the face of challenges. He contested the Asawase NDC primaries in 2023, showcasing his passion and drive to serve the people.

Though he did not emerge victorious against the incumbent, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak, his commitment to the party’s values and the people of the Ashanti Region remained strong.

His attempt to contest the primaries in 2019, though unsuccessful, further demonstrates his resilience and desire to make a difference in the political landscape.

A true grassroots leader, Masawudu has always been a key player in the NDC’s outreach efforts, particularly in the Ashanti Region. His contributions to the party’s electoral success in the region in the 2024 elections were invaluable.

Through hard work, dedication, and a deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of the people, he helped ensure that the NDC’s message resonated deeply with voters. His ability to connect with the grassroots, understand their concerns, and lead from the front has earned him the respect of both party officials and ordinary citizens alike.

A Man with National Appeal

Masawudu’s experience, both in the private sector and within the political sphere in Ghana, makes him one of the ideal party stalwarts for an appointment in the government. His strategic insights, particularly in the areas of trade, energy, and governance, and industry, will be crucial in shaping policies that will help in resetting the country.

His strong academic background, with an MSc in Management from the University of Birmingham, complements his practical experience, equipping him with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of governance. Masawudu’s combination of international exposure, entrepreneurial spirit, and grassroots connection positions him as a well-rounded and dynamic leader to be considered for appointment in this government.

Why Masawudu Mubarick Deserves Consideration for an Appointment

Masawudu Mubarick can best be described as the epitome of the new generation of Ghanaian leaders—energetic, innovative, and grounded in the realities of the country’s challenges. His experience in energy, his contributions to the NDC, and his active role in galvanizing electoral support in the Ashanti Region make him a key asset the President needs to bring onboard.
The future of Ghana depends on the next generation of leaders, and Masawudu is ready to step up and deliver.
