Ering was a member of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly representing Pasighat East constituency as an independent candidate from 1990-1995. In 1995, he again contested from the same constituency as an independent candidate, but he was defeated by the Congress candidate Tobar Jamoh. From 1999-2004 he again became a member of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly representing the same constituency as a Congress candidate. From 1999–2002, he was the Minister of State of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and from 2002–2004, he was the Deputy Speaker of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly. In 2009, he was elected to the 15th Lok Sabha.
On 19 February 2011, Ninong Ering allegedly criticized the anti-corruption drive of Indian religious leader Swami Ramdev and referred to him as a "bloody Indian dog".[2] The Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the remarks, stating that Ramdev was a revered figure and further if the Mr. Ering did not consider himself to be Indian then he should excuse himself from the Indian Parliament.[3] The Congress party claimed that it had asked for explanation from Ering on this matter.[2]
