What methods were included in the Convention People’s Party’s positive action campaign?

The Convention People’s Party (CPP), led by Kwame Nkrumah, initiated a campaign of "positive action" in January 1950 to demand immediate self-government for the Gold Coast from British colonial authorities.12

The methods employed during this campaign included:

• Nonviolent protests12
• Strikes12
• Noncooperation with British colonial authorities12
• A boycott of European goods1

These actions were designed to disrupt services throughout the country to press the CPP's political demands. The campaign was a pivotal moment in the movement toward Ghana’s independence, which was ultimately achieved in 1957.231
