It was Dr. Busia’s administration. Busia’s name was on the ballot box and not his father’s name. He was just a ceremonial president.

Is there not a difference between being elected by voters and being selected /elected by party members?

Akufo-Addo's father was not on the ballot in 1969 so let journalists and wannabe political historians get the facts straight. We do great harm to the youthful generation the misinformation propaganda machinery of the NPP knowingly and willfully make the youth of Ghana ignorant about their own history.

What is the benefit of Ghana education that expect SHS students to learn/memorize and pass examinations on the history and geography of developed nations of the world to stay informed but stay largely ignorant of their own history?

President Akuffo Addo's father was appointed as Ceremonial President, He didn't contest any election. He was rather the Chief Justice at that period.

Clearly some people cannot read. The article recounted how the Progress Party won the May 1969 election and how Edward Akufo-Addo was made president of Ghana the following year, in August, by an electoral college made up of Members of Parliament. So what is inaccurate or false about the facts in the article?

His legacy was that a beer bottle was named after him. The bottle was very little and short as him. Ghanaians have humor.
