June 1959 - Ten Years Of The C. P. P. - Mr. Bediako

June 1959 - Ten Years Of The C. P. P. - Mr. Bediako Poku was once a Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry of Communications. After losing his seat in Parliament, he became general secretary of the party. It was born in a period of strife and frustration ten years ago. The people of the Gold Coast were restless for independence, waiting for a leader to show the way. That leader grasped the opportunity. He was Kwame Nkrumah, the man who launched the Convention People's Party on June 12, 1949, and then led to the struggle which brought about the state of Ghana..
