This was the time when some Akan clans came to- gether to form a kingdom with Kumase as their capital,, some few years earlier. This apparently new territory was not the original home of the Asante. Originally all the ances- tors of the Asante lived at Adansc/Amansle.' The above assertion does not agree with Eva Meyerowitz's2 view that the Akan formerly lived along the Niger bend in the regions lying roughly between Djenne and Timbucto. There Is no evidence to support such mass migrations from outside.3 Adanse is therefore an important ancestral home of many Twi speakers. The area is traditionally known in Akan cosmogony as the place where God (Odomankoma) started the creation of the world, such as the ideas of the clan <snd kinship. Furthermore, Adanse was the first of the five principal Akan states of Adanse, Akyem Abuakwa, Assen, Denkyfra and Asante (The Akanman Piesle Num) In order of seniority.5 Evidence of the above claim for Adanse is shown by the fact that most of the ruling clans of the Akan forest states trace their origins to Adanse. -

The Rawlings' Factor in Ghana's Politics
al Science tic & li P Brenya et al., J Pol Sci Pub Aff 2015, S1 o u P b f l i o c DOI: 10.4172/2332-0761.S1-004 l Journal of Political Sciences & A a f n f r a u i r o s J ISSN: 2332-0761 Public Affairs Research Article Open Access The Rawlings’ Factor in Ghana’s Politics: An Appraisal of Some Secondary and Primary Data Brenya E, Adu-Gyamfi S*, Afful I, Darkwa B, Richmond MB, Korkor SO, Boakye ES and Turkson GK Department of History and Political Studies, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana Abstract Global concern for good leadership and democracy necessitates an examination of how good governance impacts the growth and development of a country. Since independence, Ghana has made giant strides towards good governance and democracy. Jerry John Rawlings has ruled the country for significant period of the three decades. Rawlings emerged on the political scene in 1979 through coup d’état as a junior officer who led the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) and eventually consolidated his rule as a legitimate democratically elected President of Ghana under the fourth republican constitution in 1992. Therefore, Ghana’s political history cannot be complete without a thorough examination of the role of the Rawlings in the developmental/democratic process of Ghana. However, there are different contentions about the impact of Rawlings on the developmental and democratic process of Ghana. This study examines the impacts of Rawlings’ administration on the politics of Ghana using both qualitative and quantitative analytical tools. -

Second, a description of the administration and financing of education is outlined. Third, there is presented a detailed outline of the schools and their programs of study from the elementary through the university level. There is a final summation of enrollment and output patterns, educational expansion, and opportunities. Comprehensive tables provide comparative statistics on the numbers and percentages of those involved in the educational process: past and current student enrollment; government expenditures; actual time spent in the classroom; number of trained and untrained teachers; certification of teachers; and degrees available in higher learning.

Voting Pattern and Electoral Alliances in Ghana's 1996 Elections

Vol. 2 No. 2. 38-52 Voting Pattern and Electoral Alliances in Ghana's 1996 Elections Felix K. G.Anebo* Abstract In the 1996 presidential and parliamentary elections, Ghana's two major opposi- tion political parties - the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and People's Convention Party (PCP) - which are traditionally very bitter opponents, formed an electoral alliance to defeat Rowlings and his National Democratic Congress. This paper analyses the factors that influenced the electoral alliance of the two traditional antagonists, and explains the reasons for their failure, in spite of their alliance, to win the elections. It argues, among other things, that changes in existing political alignments as well as voting patterns accounts for the electoral victory of Rowlings and his NDC in the elections. Introduction Common opposition to the Rawlings regime has made possible electoral co- operation between the country' s two major political antagonists, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and People's Convention Party (PCP). In whatever way it is viewed, the electoral alliance between the NPP and PCP into what they refer to as "The Great Alliance" is politically very significant. The two parties come from two divergent political traditions and were historically bitter enemies. The PCP traces its ancestry to Kwame Nkrumah's Convention People's Party (CPP) which in its hey days was associated with radical nationalism, Pan-Africanism and socialism. -
