After working for some time, Ahmad had done some business with Fadli Zon, and from this connection, he entered politics. Ahmad became a founding member of the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), and in 2008 he was appointed as the chairman of its central committee.[3] Following the 2014 elections, Ahmad was elected into the People's Representative Council, representing the Banten III electoral district with 56,323 votes.[4] In his first term, he was part of the council's third commission on law, human rights, and security,[3] in addition to chairing the body's ethics council.[5] Within Gerindra, he later became a deputy chairman.[6]

In October 2017, Ahmad accused the Indonesian Police of bias against Gerindra.[7] He also stated that communism in Indonesia had the potential to "revive and spread overseas".[8]

Ahmad was reelected to the council from the same district with 99,002 votes following the 2019 elections,[4] and he was appointed one of the body's deputy speakers.[9] He was reelected in 2024 with 119,692 votes.[10]
