Before entering politics, Eddy was a civil servant at South Sumatra provincial government's public works department.
Eddy first became the mayor of Palembang following a vote by the city council in 2003. In Palembang's first direct mayoral election in 2008, Eddy ran for a second term with PDI-P's support and Romi Herton as his running mate, winning with 335,591 votes (51%).
In addition, he ran as a candidate for PDI-P's provincial leadership in the party's 2005 South Sumatra congress, despite then being a member of Golkar. He eventually served two terms in that position.
During his tenure as mayor, he established the Trans Musi, a bus rapid transit system operating in the city. ASEAN gave the city a "Clean Land for Big Cities" recognition during its 2nd Environmentally Sustainable Cities Award in November 2011.
His second term expired on 21 July 2013, and he was succeeded by Romi Herton. He ran for governorship of South Sumatra in the 2013 gubernatorial election, but placed third behind incumbent governor Alex Noerdin and East Ogan Komering Ulu regent Herman Deru.
In the 2018 mayoral election for Palembang, Eddy opposed the incumbent candidate Harnojoyo against his party PDI-P's position. He later quit the party and joined Gerindra, running in the 2019 legislative election as a People's Representative Council candidate from South Sumatra's 1st electoral district. He won 64,397 votes - the most in the district - and secured a seat.
