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]
