In 1986, following the People Power Revolution, he was designated by President Cory Aquino to be the OIC-governor of Surigao del Norte serving until the 1988 local elections.

During his campaign, he faced issues related to his term as PCA chairman.
In 2001, he was appointed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to the Department of the Interior and Local Government as the undersecretary for peace and order.
The case stemmed from an alleged failure of Andanar to declare a property in his 2004 and 2005 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth however state prosecutors concluded that it was just an error in the property's title.
In a cabinet shake-up in 2006, he became the acting Secretary of the Interior and Local Government prior to the appointment of Ronaldo Puno.
Later, he became the deputy secretary of the alliance between the United Nationalist Alliance and PDP–Laban.

In 2018, President Duterte appointed Andanar to be his special envoy to Malaysia.
He was reappointed in 2019.
During his time as special envoy, he helped in linking the Bangsamoro with international markets and was active in the repatriation efforts of overseas Filipinos in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
