Election protest
He is the first Governor of the province to be elected under protest.{{Cite web |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1070069 |title=Election protest looms as Kalinga Governor elect wins by 10 votes |date=17 May 2019 |website=Philippine News Agency |access-date=26 July 2019}} In the 2019 Philippine general election on May 13, 2019, he defeated the then Vice Governor James Edduba by just ten votes.{{Cite news |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/15/19/10-boto-lamang-ng-nanalo-sa-pagka-gobernador-sa-kalinga-kalaban-magpoprotesta |title=Ferdinan Tubban is the elected Governor of Kalinga |date=15 May 2019 |work=ABS-CBN News |access-date=26 July 2019}}
Edduba filed an appeal before the Commission on Elections against Tubban.{{Cite web|url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1228894/edduba-widens-lead-over-tubban-in-initial-kalinga-poll-recount|title = Edduba widens lead over Tubban in initial Kalinga poll recount|date = 14 February 2020}} In February, 2020, the motion filed by Edubba before the Commission on Elections showed that Edduba recovered a net of seven votes, which is more than the required “substantial recovery” of 20 percent. Aside from the seven votes, the former vice governor had a total of 20 claimed ballots in his favor, which is more than enough to offset the winning margin of Tubban in the 2019 polls. Edduba, who ran under the Lakas Christian Muslim Democrats party, now has a winning margin of 17 votes.{{Cite web|url=https://mb.com.ph/2020/02/14/edduba-widens-lead-over-tubban-in-kalinga-gubernatorial-poll-recount/|title = Edduba widens lead over Tubban in Kalinga gubernatorial poll recount| website=Manila Bulletin | date=14 February 2020 }}{{Cite news|url=https://manilastandard.net/lgu/luzon/317154/edduba-widens-lead-over-tubban-in-kalinga-recount.html|title = Edduba widens lead over Tubban in Kalinga recount|newspaper = Manila Standard}} As of September 28, 2020, the case is pending before the Commission on Election.{{Cite web|url=https://www.comelec.gov.ph/?r=References/ComelecCases/EPC|title=Official COMELEC Website :: Commission on Elections}} He eventually lost his reelection bid in the May 9, 2022 Philippine general election to Edduba.{{Cite web |last=See|first=Dexter |title=Edubba finally wins in Kalinga |url=https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/05/18/news/regions/edubba-finally-wins-in-kalinga/1844027 |access-date=2022-08-30|website=The Manila Times |date=18 May 2022 }}
