He was re-elected at the 2021 Samoan general election.[4] On 12 July 2021 he agreed to resign from parliament as part of the settlement of an election petition.[5] He subsequently changed his mind, and the petition against him was later withdrawn.[6]

In November 2022 he was banished from his village of Saanapu by the village council.[7]
