In 2019, Ubah was elected to the Senate with the Young Progressives Party (YPP). He successfully ran for re-election in 2023 under this party before transitioning to the APC several months ago.

Ubah had a close call with an assassination attempt in September 2022 as his convoy was ambushed by gunmen while travelling to Nnewi in Enugwu-Ukwu, Anambra State.

At least five people lost their lives during the attack, including two policemen. However, Ubah was able to survive as his vehicle was impenetrable against bullets.
