He was subsequently appointed to the Senate, however, as one of 9 nominees of the Prime Minister. He retired from the Senate in 2006 but at the general election held on 6–13 May that year, he was elected to represent his old constituency in the House of Representatives as the candidate of the SDL. He lost his  seat when the Fijian parliament was overthrown by the 2006 Fijian coup d'état. Bulanauca stood as a candidate for the Social Democratic Liberal Party at the 2018 elections, winning 3031 votes and a seat in parliament.
