More about Ghana
History
In 1969, after democratic elections, the military rulers handed over the government to K. A. Busia, the chairman of the victorious Progressive Party (PP). Under his leadership, Ghana continued the policy initiated in 1966, which was oriented towards aid from the industrialized countries of the western world, but which failed. After the Busia government was overthrown by another military coup in January 1972, the new head of state Colonel Ignatius K. Acheampong (* 1931, executed 1979) tried to introduce a system of government without parties. An austerity program designed to take account of the difficult economic situation sparked unrest in 1977. In 1978, under pressure from the armed forces, Acheampong resigned. In 1979 the air force officer took over after a military coup Jerry John Rawlings (* 1947, † 2020), the government, leaving more of the former Head of State on charges of corruption to death, but gave after parliamentary elections in the same year over power to a civilian government led by Hilla Limann (* 1934, † 1998), the Leader of the People’s National Party (PNP), which was the largest group in parliament. Rawlings staged a coup at the turn of 1981/82again; After initially dictatorial rule, with massive support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and Western donor countries, in the early 1990s he initiated an economic rehabilitation program and a gradual process of democratization. In 1992, following a constitutional referendum, political parties were legalized and basic human rights were guaranteed. The first presidential elections since the 1981/82 military coup in November 1992 confirmed Rawlings, who had since left the armyas Head of State or Government (re-elected December 1996). The strongest political force was in the parliamentary elections in 1992 (boycott by the opposition parties) and in 1996, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) under his leadership. In 1994 and 2002 there were bloody tribal conflicts in the north of the country due to the different rights to purchase land, with thousands of deaths. Since Rawlings could no longer run in the elections in December 2000, the former opposition politician J. A. Kufuor(New Patriotic Party, NPP) elected as his successor (re-elected in 2004). In the parliamentary elections held at the same time, the NPP became the strongest party in both 2000 and 2004. In 2000, for the first time since independence in 1957, there was a change of power between two elected presidents.
After two terms in office, J. A. Kufuor did not stand for election in 2008, according to the constitution. In the presidential elections on December 7, 2008, which went without the feared outbreaks of violence, neither of the two candidates, N. Akufo-Addo from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and John Atta Mills from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was able to achieve the necessary majority. The runoff election on December 28, 2008 finally won J. Atta Mills with 50.2% of the vote. The NDC also won the parliamentary elections in the same month. In 2010 ethnic tensions escalated into bloody clashes in the north of the country.
