Instead of talking about his achievements, you are there talking about this irrelevant topic. Whether it was a presidential election or not, Nkrumah will remain the greatest president your country has ever had.

Partisan politics can’t erode patriotism and the truth - Ghana Historical Facts. They say, if you found yourself in a hole, don’t dig further, it’s my humble advice to Mr. Paul Adom-Otchere. Mr. Adom-Otchere waded into recent debate about Ghana Founder’s Day or Founder’s Day, in which he shot his foot by saying that the first President of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, never contest or was elected as a President of Ghana. When two ace journalists, Messrs. Kwesi Platt and Malik Kwaku Baako, schooled him about Ghana’s electoral history, he went missing and surfaced up with another theory. Having the media to his side, Mr. Adom-Otchere ridiculed himself further to castigate that Dr Kwame Nkrumah rather became president through plebiscite. Plebiscite (Oxford dictionary) means: “the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an important public question such as a change in the constitution”. The Britannica explains further that plebiscite election is “a vote by the people of an entire country or district to decide on some issue, such as choice of a ruler or government, option for independence or annexation by another power, or a question of national policy”. Mr. Adom-Otchere assertion that Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was handpicked to be the president is an evil mastermind creation diabolically planned to erase the history of Ghana on this earth. From 1951 when made leader of Government Affairs till 6 March 1957 when Ghana had her independence, there were three elections conducted; on 8 February 1951, 15 June 1954, and 17 July 1956 and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah led CPP to victory in all elections. He also won a parliamentarian seat at Accra-New Town. One should note that the election contacted in 1960 could not be the same as the 3rd Republic election in 1979 when Dr Hilla Limann became president, or the 4th Republic election in 1992 when Flt. Lt (Rtd) J.J. Rawlings became president. The 1960 election was a plebiscite and presidential election where 2,098,651 Ghanaians voted on 2 issues: 1. The plebiscite was on 7 March 1960: Ballot Question: “Do you accept the draft republican Constitution for Ghana as set out in the White Paper issued by the Government?”; 2. Presidential Election was 27 April 1960: Ballot Question: “Do you accept Kwame Nkrumah or Joseph Boakye Danquah as the first President under the new Constitution?” Dr. J.B. Danquah was the presidential candidate of United Party and Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was the candidate of CPP (see below). Is Mr Paul Adom-Otchere confused or just playing partisan politics with Ghana’s political history? Mr. Adom-Otchere is with the view that no election was conducted in more than one day and since 1960 election was conducted in several days, it is not an election. That is a bit unfortunate for a so-called ace journalist. If you're not critical about your history, that can be a problem because there are young generation, aspiring politicians and all kinds of people who form their opinion based on ill-informed propaganda messages and theories peddled around in academic discourse. I believe any good broadcast, not just Kumawood movies, should have accurate texture to it. It should have information, should have good history, should have something that's offbeat, credible, truthful, integrity and not corrupted or coerced to praise some disgruntled people who would have had it otherwise. Mr. Adom-Otchere before coming out from his doldrum should have researched about first presidential election in major countries. The United States presidential election of 1788-89 was the first quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Monday, 15 December 1788 to Saturday, 10 January 1789. It was conducted under the new United States Constitution, which had been ratified earlier in 1788. In the election, George Washington was unanimously elected for the first of his two terms as president (see Wikipedia). Can one say George Washington wasn’t elected as a president because US used 27 days to finish their first election and the president was also elected by the Electoral College, an indirect election? Indeed both Dr. J.B. Danquah and Dr Kwame Nkrumah contest the election as presidential candidates but unfortunately Dr. J.B. Danquah was not born to be a president. And that was not his first time of being disgruntled. From a CIA declassified information, “in Sir Charles Noble Arden-Clarke’s opinion the granting of the title of Prime Minister to Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was a logical move. Since he had in effect been fulfilling the duties of such a post during the life of the present constitution, there was no substantial reason for denying him the title. In addition, Nkrumah had been agreeable to work with the constitution and endeavor to make it a success, although large numbers of the Convention Peoples Party membership had insisted that it was unsatisfactory, “bogus”, etc. The title was thus in a sense a well-earned reward for Nkrumah’s faithful services. Moreover, since Nkrumah was obliged to make promises from time to time to his followers relative to the continued advance toward self-government, the constitutional change would lend color to his assertions along those lines, thereby strengthening his position with his Party. The Opposition: In the Governor’s view an opposition party could only gain a following by insisting on more self-government that [than] the CPP could obtain. The Governor did not consider the opposition group of Dr. J. B. Danquah as having any substance. The United Gold Coast Convention possesses no following at present, and he doubted that Danquah would ever gain the support of an appreciable number of adherents. He does not have a high opinion of Danquah, whom he regards as extremely self-seeking and unscrupulous.” The greatness of a historical personality should not be measured by his achievements in an environment of peace, order and abundances; it should be measured against the grave difficulties in which the achievements were made. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah’s unparalleled socio-economic, educational, industrial, scientific, technological, agricultural and cultural accomplishments in the post-colonial Ghana, as well as his unmatched contribution towards the African liberation struggle, was carried out in the environment of systematic internal and external destabilizing campaigns, terrorism, death threats on his life, external economic sabotage and the absence of decolonized African thinkers and brainpower. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was never a god; he was an astute politician, an indefatigable leader, an able statesman; above all, he was human, he was a man with a dream, a man with vision for Africa - a great man. Dr. J.B. Danquah had nothing to boast of to be emulated in academic discourse of Ghana independence. Dr. J. B. Danquah was born into an elite society but his way of thinking was far favourable to be the frontrunner of Ghana independence. It needs to be pointed out that Dr. J.B. Danquah was a member of the then privileged Provincial Members of the Colonial Legislative Council in 1946, made up of two intellectuals and wealthy “Chiefs”. US States Department and CIA declassified documents clearly indicated that the 5 of the BIG SIX who founded UGCC were weak and had no vision to spearhead Ghana’s independence that is why they invited Dr. Kwame Nkrumah from London. Dr. J. B. Danquah in his political career won only one election in 1951 on the ticket of UGCC. In 1954 and 1956, despite his brother being the Omanhene of Akyem Abuakwa, Dr. J.B. Danquah lost to Mr. Aaron Ofori Atta of the CPP. Frustrated and disgruntled after losing all elections, Dr J.B. Danquah allowed himself to be use by the United States to undermine Dr. Kwame Nkrumah government. When Dr. J.B. Danquah returned from jail he went to then US Ambassador Mahoney to ask why CIA has stopped paying stipend to his wife when he was imprison. Is United States a Father Christmas given money to imprisoned people? The question of Dr. J. B. Danquah being a CIA agent cannot be hearsay because was outlined in a book entitled JFK: Ordeal in Africa, written by Prof Richard D. Mahoney, the son of then US Ambassador to Ghana and can also be read from Dr Botwe-Asamoah’s book Politico-Cultural thought and policies: An African-Centered Paradigm for the second phase of African Revolution. According to Dr. Botwe-Asamoah, the Preventive Detention Act in 1958 passed by the Parliament, and affirmed by the British Governor-General, to combat terrorism in the newly independence Ghana was a natural measure to maintain law and order, and for the consolidation of the authority of the CPP government. Alternative to this law would have been a civil war, since the NLM was bent on secessionism. I believe majority of Ghanaians believe in pragmatic approach to history, compared to Mr. Paul Adom-Otchere dogmatic insinuation. Wrong does not cease to be wrong because one has the avenue to defend what is indefensible. Written by Lewis Kwame Addo

@@gideonob It was a coup d'etat that sabotaged the one party state in Ghana, not itself. Study the facts and stop believing the false propaganda. People like you think you're going to spread a form of capitalism in Africa. But it's impossible when the continent is the supplier of raw materials to the western nations by domination of foreign capital as monopolies with current African nations maintaining the old colonial barriers to full economic integration. In the current set up under imperialist domination of Africa's wealth, no African can capture enough of it to build anything like the west since they've been siphoning Africa's resources since 1885. Today, they steal some 700-900 billion a year in raw material resources out of Africa. So, stop lying, your puppets and boot lickers of Africa's true enemies have wrecked opportunities for the African. The one-party state-built modern economies that belonged exclusively to the African, and designed development plans to free the entire continent from foreign exploitation. Traitorous reactionaries in Ghana along with CIA operatives destroyed it precisely because of its success in the 15 years the CPP was in power. So, study the facts and you'll know. It's ignorance like yours that confuse those who have not studied the facts of it at all. In a liberated and unified African continent under an independent national government it wouldn't be with those clowns in charge that are there now. It will take revolutionaries to finish what President Nkrumah and others in the CPP were doing before the coons struck on Feb 24, 1966. Those corrupt people you mentioned are the puppets and bootlickers I've described. We don't want them either.

Why do you think the country's general populace burst unto the streets in celebration when he was overthrown? The man was an industrialist alright but that doesn't mean everyone should have been bowing down to him, as enlightened as you depict yourself to be in your long essay you dare to wholly defend a man who arrested everyone who contradicted him??? And you think that's what we need now?!?!?!? Imagine Akuffo Addo arresting everyone who spoke against him now. No system can change Africa!! Only a change in the minds of the people and leaders can change us, who said a one-party system would be impenetrable by White manipulation if we still have self-centred people in leadership?!?! We just need people who love the country more than their self-centered aspirations (remember that all the shows of power and massive investments in other countries that your man engaged in were aimed at him becoming president of Africa - apparently he was the only person who didn't realise that it was never going to be possible to unite all of Africa at once - the US started with only 13 states, your man being so megalomaniac and over-ambitious didn't even think of trying to unite West Africa first).

EGYAEKYI EGYAKYI I couldn't have said it better myself, brother. What they're attempting to do is thwart the continental unification of Africa. When that happens, African will not only control their wealth, but the white neo-colonialists are completely out as the beneficiaries of African wealth. They don't want us with any power because they know it will exceed theirs. The fact is the opposition were all ready puppet stooges to be used by the imperialist powers already inside of Africa. Nkrumah was leading the African continent toward full independence, Dr. Danquah would've never done that then, nor when he finally.did get his chance at being a stooge years later. Africans need to be completely free from white supemacy, and imperialist manipulation, for that only a revolutionary and a revolutionary political party is qualified to do that, and Nkrumah and the CPP were the ones to do it. Plebiscite or no, he was uniquely qualified to lead Ghana and Africa to power. White men and African traitors did not not want that, and thwarted the revolutionary effort to restore our people to true power on the earth, ending the white man's control of Africans and Africa. It's not over yet.

The term 'plebiscite' has a generally similar meaning to referendum in modern usage and comes from the Latin plebiscita, which originally meant a decree of the Concilium Plebis (Plebeian Council), the popular assembly of the Roman Republic. Today, a referendum can also often be referred to as a plebiscite, but in some countries the two terms are used differently to refer to votes with differing types of legal consequences.[8] In Australia, a 'referendum' is often said to be a vote to change the federal constitution and 'plebiscite' a vote which does not affect the federal constitution.[8] However, this is erroneous as not all federal referendums have been on constitutional matters (such as the 1916 Australian conscription referendum), and state votes that likewise do not affect either the federal or state constitution are frequently said to be referendums (such as the 2009 Western Australian daylight saving referendum). Historically, they are used by Australians interchangeably and a plebiscite was considered another name for a referendum.[9][10][11] In Ireland, 'plebiscite' referred to the vote to adopt its constitution, but a subsequent vote to amend the constitution is called a 'referendum', as is a poll of the electorate on a non-constitutional bill.

Great work Mr. Adom-Otchere. I'm just curious what the entire import of the presentation intends to convey. If a constitution provides for a channel as a way of electing (or choosing as would be appropriate in this context) and that channel is used, how does it generate a debate? Key questions we need to address 1. Is the question "Did Nkrumah win a presidential election" relevant? 2. Did Nkrumah become president and did he do some through a legally acceptable channel 3. Would the outcome have been different if it had been an election instead of a plebiscite (in your opinion)? 4. Was there a request for an election instead of the plebiscite? and What was the outcome of that debate? I believe history is an amalgam of facts and events that are interpreted to mean one thing or the other. It is a collective's accepted tale. There is the power to change or distort history and it should be done for a greater good. I don't get the sense that our current debate is driving in that direction. I believe we can have more fruitful debates around our history and I'm learning a lot from your research and publications I just don't feel that this particular argument gets us anywhere. It's been insightful watching though, please keep up the great work. My two cents.

Great attempt Uncle Paul. However, Plebiscite or Presidential Election, people still went to the poll in April 1960 to cast their ballots to determine who became President. I really think you should double check your definition of a Plebiscite. I mean, how can u say a Plebiscite is used to, and i quote you "determine matters that are not particularly very very very serious to the lives of the people". Google defines a Plebiscite as "the direct vote of all the members of an electorate on an IMPORTANT PUBLIC QUESTION such as a change in the constitution". In my opinion, i believe "who do you want to be president?" falls under an IMPORTANT PUBLIC QUESTION. Please come again.

So who is the first president of Ghana?

Adom Otchere, ghanaians are not interested in whether Nkrumah won an election or not. You're entering a field that is best reserved for the academia. What you're talking about is it beneficial to your audience? We know you. You told a lie about you and Nii Arday Clegg. If Nii Arday had not stood his grounds and confronted you, you would have gone ahead to tell other lies. Continue in your self glorification.

i feel sorry for this guy. He seems to be honest until recently. Politics fucks up peoples mind especially in Ghana. Ghanaians are masters of pull him down. The fact is that Nkrumah is beyond Ghana. The more they try to bring him down the bigger he becomes.18.05 minutes of crap

Paul, a plebiscite is a vote. What was the reason for the plebiscite? It was to elect a president. And Nkrumah won. What's your case? You are becoming so irrelevant

i dont see what it eating Paul's head. That was the system available to elect the president so weather it is by raising your hands or voting for a month. that was the method and the logistics available. Could we collate all votes same day by 1957? The second book you read said presidential election. So why neglect the phrase but use the process to explain your plebiscite.

At times we can be very trivial!!!

No, Frederick, he is worse than being trivial ... It's a deliberate attempt by the descendants and supporters of the same faction that mindlessly and self-servingly did all they could to thwart the efforts of the Osagyefo to obtain political independence for Ghana and Africa. Their forebears (read Dr. Busia) went to the extent of sending a delegation to the UK to actually beg their "masters" not to give the Gold Coast its political independence because it was "not fit yet to rule itself". It was this that prompted Nkrumah's retort that the then-Gold Coast hat the right to manage or mismanage it's own affairs, and needed no help to that effect from a colonial power which, in any case, was merely amply helping itself with the wealth of the colony. When these traitors failed, the resorted to assassination attempts, especially after independence. Their diabolical ways have not changed, culminating in the early insurgency of Col. Afrifa and his cohorts in the illicit coup d'etat of 2/24/1966, as well as the emergence of more recent self-serving "leaders" like Busia, Kuffour, and, now, Akufo-Addo. So, this just a synopsis. They will not stop unless and until a second Nkrumah appears.on the scene.

Election is all about VOTING so my brother Paul Adom-Otchere congrats for your view. However , since there was VOTING between Dr Nkrumah and Dr Danqauh , hence NKRUMAH participated in an ELECTION in Ghana and he won it. So whether is a referendum, plebiscite, parliamentary, presidential and the rest , now since VOTING is part of the process is an Election.

Plebiscite not a plebisit

Neither Nkrumah nor Danquah, not neither or. Polling not pooling. Much as I agree with Paul, methinks he should have researched the pronunciation of plebiscite before his presentation

What imbecilic nonsense! Not worthy of serious contemplation except, perhaps, by the likes of an earlier Independence era faction of Ghanaians rabidly anti-Nkrumah and anti-anything that Nkrumsh stood for, thus aptly deridedly referred to as "Ma'ate me ho" people -- roughly translated as secessionists. It is from that general ethnic group and school of thought (if one could call it such) that people like Afrifa, Busia, Danquah, Ofori-Attah, Kuffour, and Akufo-Addo derive. A word to the wise ...
