After completing high school in Sinjai,[1] he received a degree in mining engineering at the Indonesian Muslim University in Makassar.

There, he took part as a candidate in the 1999 legislative election and won a seat in the Provincial Regional House of Representatives as a member of the National Mandate Party (PAN). He was reelected to the body in 2004, still as a PAN member, and became its deputy speaker.[2][1] During his time at PAN, he was deputy chairman of the provincial branch between 1998 and 2001, and chairman between 2001 and 2006.[1] For the 2009, he moved to the Patriot Party and retained his seat in the legislature.[3]
Harun ran in the 2010 mayoral election for Samarinda with the support of Patriot, Golkar, and Gerindra, placing third out of seven candidates with 57,979 votes (19%).[4] By 2013, he had moved to Golkar and became the party's branch chairman in Bontang the following year.[1] He was elected for a fourth term in the provincial DPRD in 2014 as a Golkar member.[1] In the middle of this term, he moved to Gerindra, and following a series of internal disputes and lawsuits Golkar replaced him in the provincial parliament on 4 September 2018.[5] He was elected for a fifth term in 2019 as a Gerindra legislator, becoming deputy speaker for a second time.[1]
