Who was the African nationalist responsible for forming the Convention Peoples Party in Ghana?

Kwame Nkrumah was a pivotal figure in Ghana's history, recognized for his role in leading the country to independence from British colonial rule. He founded the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) in 1949 as a means to mobilize popular support for self-governance and ultimately independence. The CPP became the political platform through which Nkrumah advocated for national unity and economic development, as well as promoting a vision of pan-Africanism. His leadership and the party's objectives significantly shaped the political landscape of Ghana and inspired nationalist movements across the continent. This context underscores Nkrumah's critical role in Ghana’s independence and highlights the significance of the Convention Peoples Party in the broader struggle for African liberation.
