Gold Coast legislative election, 1951
Elections for the Legislative Assembly were held for the first time in the Gold Coast on 8 February 1951. Although elections had been held for the Legislative Council since 1925,〔(Timeline: Ghana ) BBC News, 23 October 2007〕 the Council did not have complete control over the legislation, and the voting franchise was limited to councils of chiefs.〔Dunlop Roberts, A. (1986) (The Cambridge History of Africa )〕 This was the first election to be held in Africa under universal suffrage.〔Brown, J.M. & Roger Louis, W.M. (1999) (The Oxford History of the British Empire )〕
==Background==
Amongst growing calls for self-governance, such as the 1948 Accra Riots and unrest (which led to the arrest of the Big Six), the Coussey Committee was commissioned by the United Kingdom government. Its report led to the 1951 constitution, which gave the Executive Council an African majority, and created an 84-member Legislative Assembly, 38 of which were to be elected by the people, 37 representing territorial councils, six appointed to represent commercial interests and three ''ex officio'' members appointed by the Governor. Those representing commercial interests and appointed by the Governor were all white.〔"The Gold Coast Experiment", ''The Times'', 17 February 1951, p7, Issue 51928〕
Nkrumah's aide and later Finance Minister Komla Agbeli Gbedemah is credited with organizing the entire campaign while he (Nkrumah) was still in Fort James prison, detained by the colonial government. Nkrumah duly won the Accra Central Municipal seat.
