Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka born October 17 1971 is the Member of Parliament for Asawase in the Ashanti Region of Ghana and also the Minority Chief in Ghana's Parliament. He was the Minister for Youth and Sports.

He was requested by President Mills to proceed on leave while allegations of corruption against him were investigated. He however resigned from government following the acceptance by President Mills of the findings of the investigating committee.

Muntaka was born in Akuse in the Eastern Region of Ghana but his parents originally came from Kumbugu in the northern region of Ghana. He worked as a teacher and later went into politics.

He first entered the Parliament of Ghana on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress in 2005 when he won a by-election in the Asawase constituency with a majority of 11,142 replacing the late Dr Gibrine also of the NDC who had won the seat in December 2004 with a majority of 4,474.

The Ghana Center for Democratic Development deemed that this by-election was "fair and transparent, but not free from fear." He subsequently retained his seat in the Ghanaian parliamentary election held in December 2008. He also won the next election in 2012. Alhaji Mubarak is the Chief Majority Whip in parliament for the John Mahama-led NDC Government.

During the 2020 general election, Muntaka was said to have allowed his 6-year-old daughter to thumbprint his ballot on his behalf, an act that attracted wide condemnation as the Ghana electoral laws only permit people above 18 years to participate in elections.

He was requested by President John Atta Mills to proceed on leave while allegations of corruption against him were investigated. He however resigned from government following the acceptance by President Mills of the findings of the investigating committee.

In January 2021, he allegedly said a Supreme Court judge offered an inducement to a female member of parliament of the NDC in an attempt to persuade her to cast a vote for Mike Oquaye during the Speaker of Parliament election. He was widely condemned by lawyers and was asked to provide evidence.

He was charged with allegations of abuse of office and conflict of interest by some officials of the Ministry of Youth and Sports for using his position to secure a German visa for his alleged girlfriend. However, after investigations by CHRAJ, he was cleared of all charges on the basis that there was not enough evidence to convict him of the crime per the laws of Ghana.

Hon. Muntaka engaged in a verbal fight with the MP of Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong when he confronted him about dragging him to the Parliamentary Privileges Committees for allegedly calling on attackers to deal with Ahmed Hussein Suale an investigative journalist with Tiger Eye who was later murdered by unknown assassins. The two MPs were seen in a video insulting each other in parliament.
