What was the result when a military coup seized power in Ghana?
The government finally stabilized.
Civilian rule was abolished for good,
Nkrumah became stronger than ever.
Government instability increased.

When a military coup seized power in Ghana in 1966, the country experienced significant upheaval. Kwame Nkrumah, the country’s first president, was overthrown, leading to a period of governmental instability. This transition not only disrupted political continuity but also set off a chain of subsequent coups and leadership changes, fostering an environment of uncertainty that would persist for years.

Despite the coup appearing to remove Nkrumah, it did not result in lasting stability. The intermittent military and civilian government cycles contributed to a tumultuous political landscape. It took years for Ghana to establish a more stable democracy, illustrating the ripple effects of such upheavals on governance and public trust in leadership.
