Biography

AK Kamara (Abdul-Rahman Magba-Kamara) is a Conservative Opinionator and Republican Party official from Minnesota. In May 2024, delegates to the Republican Party of Minnesota’s State Central Committee elected him the state’s national committeeman to the Republican National Committee (RNC). He succeeded Alex Plechash. He took office on July 19, 2024, following the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where he was also a Minnesota delegate.
