Edgington became mayor of [Barkly Regional Council](/source/Barkly_Region), a position he held at the time of the election. He ran for parliament while concurrently holding the position of mayor, leading some to suggest a conflict of interest.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-01-29|title='I feel insulted, I feel disrespected': Alice Springs Mayor slams claims of a 'conflict of interest'|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-29/alice-springs-mayor-damien-ryan-on-running-for-nt-election/11909502|access-date=2020-09-07|website=www.abc.net.au|language=en-AU}}</ref>

Edgington was a candidate in the [2020 Northern Territory general election](/source/2020_Northern_Territory_general_election) for the seat of [Barkly](/source/Electoral_division_of_Barkly) for the [Country Liberal Party](/source/Country_Liberal_Party). While he was behind for most of the count after the election, he made up ground due to the postal votes, and won the seat by a margin of 5 votes.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Independent Staff|title=Edgington makes late comeback in Barkly with postal votes, looks set to take seat for CLP {{!}} NT Independent|url=https://ntindependent.com.au/edgington-makes-late-comeback-in-barkly-with-postal-votes-looks-set-to-take-seat-for-clp/|access-date=2020-09-07|language=en-AU}}</ref><ref name=":0" />
