  J B Danquah stood for elections in at Akyem Abuakwa for UGCC and he lost to his nephew who was a CPP candidate. J B Danquah was the Presidential candidate for the United Party UP and he lost to Dr Kwame Nkrumah CPP in 1960. Dr K A Busia as the Prme Minister in the Second Republic together with his unelected ceremonial president Edward Akuffo Addo carelessly deported our Brothers and sisters from Nigeria from Ghana in 1969 and Nigeria also deported Ghanaians from Nigeria in millions in 1983 and THAT was KARMA. Do not hate your fellow black man and woman. Black people are pressed and exploited by the white man and woman.

  These traitors must not be on the news to remind us of our painful past.

  Thanks for the clear history about the formation of the UP Party. It’s not a tribal party as others try to describe it, but a national party, from the history stated. It doesn’t belong to any tribe or group! It belongs to ...

  Kojo Poku, your hate for npp is too strong. J B is not the first person to lose an election and neither would he be the last. Is this news ? Both Atta Mills and Mahama have also lost elections before. Give us a break

  During the Gold Coast's struggle for independence, Dr.J.B Danquah, Professor Busia and Joe Appiah rushed to the British Psrliament to argue that the colony,-the Gold Coast was not ready for independence. How sad l!! And yet, the same people wanted the reines of the government to be handed over to them when Nkrumah successfully managed to free us foreign domination. And when he wouldn't allow that, they sabotaged his government. Were they simply misguided saboteurs or traitors? Where might Ghana be today if they hadn't overthrown Nkrumah? We have been settled with half a century of waste and destruction. What lessons have we learned from failing to be patriotic? We must pledge: NEVER AGAIN!!
