Explanation:

Final answer:

Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta both worked with political parties to bring freedom to their countries and both worked to win independence from British rule. However, only Jomo Kenyatta became the leader of his country and passed power peacefully to his successors.

Explanation:

The statement that is NOT true is C: both became the leaders of their countries and later passed power peacefully to successors.

While it is true that both Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta worked with political parties to bring freedom to their countries (Option A), and both worked to win independence from British rule (Option B), only Jomo Kenyatta became the leader of his country and passed power peacefully to his successors. Kwame Nkrumah, on the other hand, became the first prime minister and later the first president of Ghana, but his rule became increasingly autocratic and he was eventually overthrown in a military coup.

By traveling outside Africa to pursue education, both Kwame Nkrumah and Jomo Kenyatta gained knowledge and experience that influenced their political ideologies and strategies for independence. Kwame Nkrumah studied in the United States and the United Kingdom, while Jomo Kenyatta studied in the United Kingdom.
