David Asibi Ayindenaba Apasera is a Ghanaian politician. He was the presidential candidate for the People's National Convention (PNC) in the 2020 Ghanaian general election. He was member of parliament for Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region of Ghana between 2001 and 2009.

In 2020 however, he managed to secure the nomination of the party to contest the 2020 Ghanaian general election as their presidential candidate. His running mate was Divine Ayivor. He is one of twelve candidates for the election.

Before the 2012 election, the Bolgatanga constituency was reconfigured into the Bolgatanga Central and Bolgatanga East constituencies. Apasera beat Rockson Akugre by 100 votes to 83 for the PNC nomination to contest the Bolgatanga East seat. He however failed to win, coming third with 13.1% of the votes. Apasera contested the PNC primaries for the Bolgatanga East seat prior to the 2016 election. A dispute developed between him and Bernard Mornah, the PNC chairman at the time. He accused Mornah of deleting his name from the list submitted by the party to the Electoral Commission of Ghana. He ultimately did not make it onto the ballot box.

Apasera first run for elections in the 1996 Ghanaian general election where he contested the Bolgatanga constituency seat on the People's National Convention's (PNC) ticket. He came second with about 21% of the vote. He however beat the incumbent MP, Simon Abingya of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2000 election for the same seat to become the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga with 50.9% of the votes and with a majority of 7,575. Apasera retained his seat in the 2004 general election, winning 38.6% of the total votes cast but with a reduced majority of 2,205 votes. He was one of six MPs from the PNC and CPP together with an independent MP who went into alliance with the NPP in parliament in 2005. In the 2008 general election, he came third, behind Emmanuel Akolbire of the NDC and Mercy Alima Musah of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with 20.1% of the total votes cast. This brought his tenure as member of parliament for Bolgatanga to an end of the fourth parliament of the Fourth Republic on 6 January 2009.
