PDP candidate Abbey Ukpukpen, widow of a member of the Cross River House of Assembly, Stephen Ukpukpen, has assumed control over her husband's seat, following her triumph at the Obudu Constituency by-decision, held in the state yesterday, Saturday August eleventh.
Her husband, Stephen Ukpukpen's seat was announced empty after he drooped and kicked the bucket while running in the state in May 2018.
Nunnery Ukpukpen, who challenged under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), scored 12,712 votes to beat Ishamali Bendel of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who had 4,345 votes.
The Returning Officer for the Obudu Constituency by-race, Tony Eyang, declared the outcome today Sunday August twelfth.
