The longtime hunter of the top post in the region bragged before the polls that he would finish off Linford Asamoah with a resounding victory.
He claimed that Linford was a henchman of deceased former regional boss A. A Lawal and should not be even considered for the post.
However, voters secretly laughed off the claims and handed Budu the heaviest defeat to give his opponent a four-year term in office.
The young and dynamic Asamoah delivered a sucker-punch and a humiliating 103-9 defeat to silence the veteran and send him into perpetual retirement.
Budu, who has been a loud voice in the region, was given a rude-awakening and reality check, leaving him to somersault after amassing the lowest votes in the regional race.
The veteran has been left without a trace after suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of his 'son'.
Asamoah becomes one of the youngest administrators to assume the top position in the Eastern region.
An aide-de-camp to deceased former regional FA boss A.A Lawah, Asamoah takes over the reins of his former to continue with grassroots development.
Asamoah's upper-cut hook effectively sends Nana Budu into perpetual retirement.
