National Liberation Movement (Ghana)

The National Liberation Movement was a Ghanaian political party formed on 19 September 1954.

[2] Set up by disaffected members of the Convention People's Party, who were joined by Kofi Abrefa Busia, the NLM opposed the process of centralization whilst supporting a continuing role for traditional leaders.

It was led by Baffour Akoto, linguist to the Asantehene.

[4] The Avoidance of Discrimination Act, passed by Kwame Nkrumah in 1957 outlawed parties based on racial, regional, or religious differences and as such the NLM became part of the newly formed opposition group the United Party.
