Convention People's Party (CPP)

Japanese: 会議人民党 - かいぎじんみんとう(英語表記)Convention People's Party; CPP
Convention People's Party (CPP)
A mass political party in Ghana. Led by K. Nkrumah, it was founded in June 1949 by the Youth Organising Committee of the United Gold Coast Congress (UGCC). It demanded immediate autonomy from Britain and took active steps, which put it at odds with the lukewarm UGCC. Since becoming the largest party in the Legislative Council elections in 1951, it had a great influence as the ruling party in Ghana, following Ghana's independence in March 1957, until the military coup of February 1966, when Nkrumah's government was overthrown. It was also known as the first political party in Africa to explicitly state its support for Pan-Africanism in its party constitution, but was dissolved when the military government was established in February 1966.
