Biography
Born into a Druze family in Beit Jann, Nafa was elected to his hometown's local council as a representative of Maki in 1989, and served as the authority's mayor between 1992 and 1993. He left Maki in 1997.
Prior to the 2006 elections he was placed 4th on Balad's list. Although Balad won only three seats in the election, he entered the Knesset on 24 April 2007 as a replacement for party leader Azmi Bishara, who had resigned. He was placed second on the party's list for the 2009 elections, and retained his seat as the party won three mandates.
Nafa lives in Beit Jann and is married with nine children.[1]
