Kwame Nkrumah and the members of his party, the Convention People’s Party (CPP), worked toward a peaceful uprising against British rule by initiating a civil disobedience movement, strikes, protests, and other actions. Although he was imprisoned, his demands were ultimately met, and he was invited to form the government. Under his supervision, he ensured that the constitution of Ghana underwent reforms and changes. His efforts led to his appointment as the Prime Minister of Ghana and, later, its first President. As the leader of the country, he worked to implement political reforms while also driving significant economic and social changes in Ghana. His leadership shaped the future of the nation, but over time, he became increasingly authoritarian, imposing his will on the people. This led to widespread dissatisfaction, culminating in his overthrow in a military coup. Nkrumah lived in exile in Guinea until his death. Despite the controversial end to his political career, Nkrumah’s contributions to laying the foundation of modern Ghana are unparalleled. In recognition of his efforts, he was honored with the Lenin Peace Prize.
