Meet Nida Allam

Vice Chair of the Durham County Board of Commissioners Nida Allam — the first Muslim woman ever elected to public office in North Carolina — has served honorably as a champion of working families since being first elected in 2020. Previously the youngest Commission Chair in the state, Nida has fought for our schools, housing, healthcare, workers, and families.

The daughter of Indian and Pakistani immigrants, Nida grew up in the Triangle and attended North Carolina public schools throughout her life, including at North Carolina State University (Go Pack!). Today, she lives with her husband, Towqir, and their two children, Aaliyah and Abdul, in Durham. On the County Commission, Nida is fighting for a brighter future — for her kids and for all Durham County residents.
