After winning the city's mayoral election in 2010,and its revote,Lumentut was sworn in as mayor on 8 December 2010. [3] [4] His first term ended on 8 December 2015,but he was sworn in again on 9 May 2016 after winning the 2016 mayoral election in February 2016. [5] [6]
As mayor,he established a "Manado Smart City" program,which involved setting up a command center and a variety of applications.

[12] [13] His former party accused Lumentut of having been pressured by the Supreme Court to join Nasdem,as he was being investigated on corruption charges. [14]
