In 1986, he was already a member of the Indonesian Democratic Party, becoming its local chairman at Kawalu District in Tasikmalaya city.

He ran as the running mate to Uu Ruzhanul Ulum in Tasikmalaya's 2011 regency election, with the support of PDI-P, the United Development Party, and the National Mandate Party. The pair won 263,003 votes (32.3%) and was elected out of eight candidates.[4] They were sworn into office on 8 March 2011.[5] Uu and Ade ran again in the 2015 regency election uncontested, securing 67.4% of votes against the "disapprove" option.[6]
On 6 September 2018, as Uu became the vice governor of West Java following the province's 2018 gubernatorial election, Sugianto became acting regent of Tasikmalaya.[7] He was sworn in as the full regent on 3 December 2018.[8] He was reelected in the 2020 regency election, winning 315,332 votes (32.2%) in a four-way race.[9]
