He led a group of people in the then British Mandated Togoland which sought the unification of the Volta Region with Togo. Their attempts led the United Nations to organize a plebiscite in the area in 1956. Mr Antor was serving as Ambassador in Togo when the regime of Prime Minister KA Busia was toppled.
