History
The BGCP was formed in June 1946, with its leadership included Jung Bahadur Singh, J.A. Nicholson, Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow and Ashton Chase.[1] It contested 13 of the 14 seats in the 1947 elections, winning five of them and becoming the largest party in the Legislative Council.[1]
In 1949 Forbes Burnham became party leader, and the following year it merged with the Political Affairs Committee to form the People's Progressive Party.[2]
