A decision by an Accra High Court to instate Nana Kojo Budu as the Chairman of the Eastern Regional Football Association has been overturned Ghana's Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court by a majority decision on Tuesday dismissed all the reliefs sought by Nana Budu and Geoffrey Oteng Arthur.

By the Court's decision, Alhaji A.A Lawal assumes his position as the chairman of Eastern Regional Football Association after winning elections by 147 to 17 polled by Nana Budu.

Lawal will also take his seat on the Executive Committee of the GFA.

An Accra High Court, earlier in July ordered the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to instate Nana Kojo Budu as the Chairman of the Eastern Regional Football Association instead of Alhaji A.A Lawal, because Lawal has failed to account for his stewardship.
