These include four members of The Big Six. The first was Emmanuel Obetsebi-Lamptey who lost out to Kwame Nkrumah in Accra Central. The next was J. B. Danquah, a founding member of the United Gold Coast Convention and now a member of the Ghana Congress Party who lost to a relative, Aaron Ofori-Atta. A third member of the Big Six, William Ofori Atta of the GCP failed to keep his Akim Abuakwa West seat. The fourth was Edward Akufo-Addo who lost the Akwapim South election. The former wife of J. B.
