In 2012, Ambre contested in the 2012 Ghanaian General Elections under the ticket of the NDC and won, giving him the chance to represent the Assin North constituency. He garnered 14,338 votes which represents 51.64% of the valid votes cast and hence defeated the other contestants including Ebenezer Appiah-Kubi, Akakpo John Gameley, Sanni Mahama and Daniel Gibson Gyetuan.
However, when he contested in the 2016 Ghanaian General elections, he lost to Abena Durowaa Mensah and hence could not get a second chance to represent his constituency.
