| 释义 |
The Independent Group of Members of the Legislative Council was a right-wing political party in Kenya. HistoryLed by Llewellyn Briggs,[1] the Independent Group was a European party that called for ministerial positions to be awarded without consideration for the racial makeup of the cabinet, using the slogan "Merit and Ability",[2] effectively seeking to exclude Africans from government.[3] It nominated ten candidates for the fourteen European seats in the 1956 general elections, winning eight of them.[4][5] In August 1959 Briggs formed the United Party, bringing together the Independent Group with former members of the Federal Independence Party,[2][6] which had failed to win a seat in the 1956 elections.
