The United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) was an early nationalist movement in the British colony of the Gold Coast that sought independence after the Second World War. It was founded on the 4th of August 1947 with the aim of self-government "in the shortest possible time" by educated Africans such as J.B. Danquah, A.G. Grant, R.A. Awoonor-Williams, Edward Akufo Addo, and others. There was also involvement from people, including merchants and graduate teachers, who contributed to the UGCC. It was a nationwide movement that aimed to draw chiefs and people together, restore leadership to Ghanaians, knit together existing organisations, and prepare for the time when the country would be self-governing. J.B. Danquah, who was the president of the UGCC when it was founded, invited Kwame Nkrumah to become the secretary of the Convention in 1947, who began to work immediately. The leadership of the organization called for the replacement of Chiefs on the Legislative Council with educated persons. The United Gold Coast Convention appointed its leaders to include Nkrumah, who was the Secretary General. However, upon an allegation of plans against Nkrumah's leadership, he was arrested and jailed. The UGCC leadership broke up and Kwame Nkrumah went on to form the Convention People's Party (CPP) in 1949 for self-governance. In March 1948, Nkrumah was arrested and detained alongside other leaders of the UGCC. The arrest by the British authorities was due to political activism. Nkrumah then quit the UGCC following his release and went on to create the CPP. In 1949, this party aimed to bring together a wide range of political interests.
