Former parliamentary aspirant for the National Democratic Congress in the Asawase constituency, Mubarick Masawudu, has landed a huge appointment as the new Deputy Director-General of the Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA).

His appointment was announced by the Ghana Maritime Authority on their official Facebook page on Friday, April 25, 2025.

Mr Mubarick Masawudu's appointment forms part of the recent leadership changes President John Dramani Mahama has made across significant government institutions since he and his NDC administration returned to power after the 2024 elections.

Mubarick Masawudu is widely known for his active engagement in the NDC and his previous efforts to represent the Asawase in Parliament.

His new role is expected to bolster the administrative leadership of the Ghana Maritime Authority as the institution works to enhance efficiency and promote growth in Ghana’s maritime sector.

Masawudu Mubarick gained prominence in the Ghanaian political arena after contesting against the current Minister of Interior, Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, to become the National Democratic Congress' parliamentary candidate in the Asawase Constituency in the Ashanti Region in the 2023 primaries.

Muntaka polled 1,063 of the total valid votes cast to retain his parliamentary candidacy, with Mubarick trailing him with 735 votes.

Muarick Masawudu would serve as the deputy to Naval Captain Kamal-Deen Ali, who was appointed as the Director-General of the Ghana Maritime Authority following the sacking of Mr Thomas Kofi Alonsi, who was relieved from the role in February 2025.

Mr Thomas Kofi Alonsi, a solicitor with over 16 years of experience in both the private and public sectors, had served as the Director-General since 2019 after being appointed by former President Nana Akufo-Addo.
