In 1952, my brother Dr Kofi Agrefa Busia was the Leader of Ghana Congress Party, which later merged with the other opposition parties to form the united party (UP). My brother's one seat on the ticket of the Ghana Congress Party went into alliance with the Northern Peoples Party led by Simon Diedong Dombo who had 14 seats, whom based on majority seats should have automatically been the leader at the time but Dombo decided that Busia should be the leader of the opposition due to his superior academic credentials in the academia.
