Baba Jamal and Dr. Yakubu Azindow are being considered as possible replacements for the late Naser Toure Mahama, the former MP for Ayawaso East. Baba Jamal, who was the runner-up in the 2024 NDC parliamentary primary with 525 votes, has been actively involved in the community and has expressed interest in representing the constituency. Dr. Azindow, who polled 215 votes in the primary, is also being mentioned as a potential candidate.
Other names being considered include Abdul Salam Daru and Najib Mohammed Sani, who are younger party members. The NDC will likely hold discussions to determine the best candidate to replace Mahama, who was a dedicated and diligent MP.
