She succeeded Christopher Mortimer, who was appointed as Interim Leader of the DNA on 24 October 2017.
Mortimer was appointed Interim Leader following the DNA's defeat in the Bahamas' General Elections on 10 May 2017, when the Party failed to win a parliamentary seat out of the 39 possible parliamentary seats in the House of Assembly.
Founder and inaugural leader of the DNA, Branville McCartney announced his intention to resign from the Party and front-line politics following the defeat.
Komolafe is the first female to hold a top leadership post in the DNA and the third in The Bahamas among the three main parties, following Cynthia Pratt, former Deputy Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) and Loretta Butler-Turner, former Deputy Leader of the Free National Movement.
