Seiuli was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Samoa at the 2015 Sagaga-le-Usoga by-election.[1] He was re-elected in the 2016 election[2] and appointed Associate Minister of Works, Transport and Infrastructure.[3] In October 2018 he was one of a group of chiefs charged with contempt of court for bestowing the Malietoa title in violation of a court order.[4]
He was re-elected at the 2021 election, but his election was overturned by an election petition, which found him guilty of bribery and treating and banned him from office for 15 years.[5][6]
