1969 Ghanaian parliamentary election
The Ghanaian parliamentary election was held on 29 August 1969. This was the first parliamentary election since the 1966 coup by the National Liberation Council which toppled the Nkrumah government.
The election was to select members for the 140 seat legislative body. Kofi Abrefa Busia, the leader of the Progress Party became the Prime Minister of Ghana. There were no presidential elections, as the system adopted was a parliamentary republic. Instead, a ceremonial president, Edward Akufo-Addo, was elected by an electoral college.Results
