Everything about Ghanaian Parliamentary Election 1965 totally explained
Parliamentary elections were held in
Ghana in 1965. As the country was a
one-party state at the time, no parties except
President Kwame Nkrumah's
Convention People's Party (CPP) were allowed to participate.
Background
Due to a constitutional amendment passed in
a referendum the previous year, the CPP had become the sole legal party. It was the first vote for the country's
parliament since the pre-independence
1956 legislative elections; Nkrumah's victory in the
1960 constitutional referendum was taken as a fresh mandate from the people and the terms of National Assembly members were extended for another five years.
Results
As Ghana was now a one-party state, all 198 MPs representing the CPP were elected unopposed.
Aftermath
Nkrumah was overthrown in a coup in February 1966, the CPP was dissolved, and the constitution suspended. Multi-party politics was restored by the time of the
next elections in 1969.
