The Supreme Court has overturned the decision by an Accra High Court to instate Nana Kojo Budu as the Chairman of the Eastern Regional Football Association.
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.
But the Supreme Court ruled against the High Court's decision, saying the High Court has violated the law of natural justice because, Nana Budu did not lodge a protest or motion against the Electoral Commission that the election wasn't free and fair.
It would be recalled that Nana Budu polled a total of 17 votes as against 147 by A.A Lawal at the Eastern Regional Football Association chairmanship selection.
With the latest development, Alhaji A.A Lawal will reclaim his position as the chairman of Eastern Regional Football Association.
