Early life

Career

He was a regular functionary until 2009, then until 2017 he served as director or acting director of several KPK units, including its wealth reporting, research and development, public education, and government relations units. His duties at KPK were primarily public and inter-agency outreach.[1]
Politics
[edit]In December 2017, incumbent mayor of Bogor Bima Arya offered Rachim to become his running mate in Arya's bid for a second term. On 27 December 2017, Rachim resigned from KPK in order to do so, making him the first active KPK official to resign to take part in an election.[4] Prior KPK officials which entered politics had only done so after retiring from KPK.[4] Arya-Rachim, supported by a coalition of parties including National Mandate Party (PAN), Demokrat, Hanura, Golkar and Nasdem, won in the election with 215,708 votes (43.6%) in a four-candidate race.[5] Rachim was sworn in as vice mayor on 20 April 2019.[6]
In February 2024, Rachim joined PAN as a member, as the party gave its support to Rachim to run as mayor in the 2024 mayoral election.[7] Arya and Rachim's term ended on 20 April 2024, and in a farewell speech Arya endorsed Rachim's bid for mayor.[8] Rachim proceeded to win with 183,500 votes (37.4 percent) in the five-way election, securing the most votes in all five city districts.[9]
