Between 1961-1963, The Union of African States was formed (Ghana- Guinea-Mali) with plans to share in currency and foreign policy. Unfortunately, it was short -lived. But Ghana did win 3 gold medals, 5 sliver and 1 bronze in the 1962 Commonwealth Games under this flag.
Then in 1963, Ghana switched up when the country exited the Union of African States. 'Why white?' Well the white stripe was a feature of the ruling Conventions People Party (CPP). This stayed till 1966 when Nkrumah was ousted. Then we went back to gold... (today's problem)
