Following the May 1998 fall of Suharto,Arya became one of the founders of the National Mandate Party ( Partai Amanat Nasional or PAN). Between 1998 and 2001,he was a politics lecturer at Parahyangan Catholic University. Afterwards,he moved to Paramadina University,where he still lectures. [2] He was also a political observer,although he resigned from active position in 2010 due to conflict of interest with his career in PAN. [3]

[4] His campaign promises included a 100-day program to improve public transport,urban hygiene,bureaucracy and civil administration in addition to the handling of street merchants. [5] Three months into his tenure,he received a second place award from Indonesia Digital Society (behind Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini) due to establishments of online systems for the city.
