Nasara is the Zongo wing of the New Patriotic Party with the primary purpose of mobilizing members for the party within the muslim Communities of Ghana.

The Nasara wing was birthed by the late Alhaji Hussein Maiga[3] and some Muslim patriots like Hajia Meimuna Yakubu (Hajia Fara), Alhaji Rufai, Alhaji Bismi and Alhaji Sadat.

In 2018, the constitution of the party was amended to make NASARA a special wing of the party.[4] Now coordinators from the constituency, regional to national levels are elected and deputies appointed to deputize the elected coordinators. The aim of this wing is to harness all untapped potential and give a loud voice to the visibly minority Zongo communities in the Ghanaian political landscape. Abdul Aziz Futah is the current national NASARA coordinator.[5] The Nasara is a special organ of the Party, which promotes the policies and programs of the Party in Zongo Communities. Its responsibilities are to:
