Recently, she has resigned from the People’s Democratic Party.
She resigned with immediate effect in a letter dated March 28, 2025, which was sent to the chairman of Edem Odo Ward in the Cross River State local government area of Akpabuyo.
She claimed that although she did not make the decision to leave the PDP lightly, she was still dedicated to helping her community and advancing Cross River State and the nation in various ways.
In 2023, Dr. Ambros-Amawhe ran as Senator Sandy Onor’s deputy candidate for governor of Cross River State.
In addition, she ran on the PDP’s platform for the Bakassi/Akpabuyo/Calabar South Federal Constituency House of Representatives seat.
