词条 | 1965 Ghanaian parliamentary election |
释义 |
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. BackgroundDue 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. ResultsAs Ghana was now a one-party state, all 198 MPs representing the CPP were elected unopposed.[1] AftermathNkrumah 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.
