As Africans representation in the Legislative Council increased, so too did their political power. Finally, in 1959, the Secretary of State for the Colonies accepted Africans demand for a constitutional conference. This was held in London in early 1960. A new constitution was adopted, providing for the election of 53 Members on a common roll and 12 by Elected members of the council. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
