Osei Tutu Agyemang has been elected the new chairman of the Ashanti Regional Football Association by a unanimous decision.

The new chairman assumes the position following the death of Christian K. Yeboah in January 2009.

At the local elections held on Wednesday in Kumasi, Osei Tutu, the former vice chairman to the deceased pulled 81 votes out of the 84 votes as three abstained from the process.

Two other people who picked up forms failed to file their nomination documents for the elections.

Osei Tutu, a football administrator will thus represent the region on the Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association.
