Elections In the 2018 general election (GE14), UMNO fielded him to contest the Sipitang parliamentary seat despite his participation into politics was being opposed by his father. He subsequently won in a three-corner contest facing a new candidate Noor Hayaty Mustapha from the Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN) and Dayang Aezzy Liman from the Sabah People's Hope Party (PHRS).

Controversy After the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition's fall in GE14 and following the disappearance of his father Musa Aman, Yamani was not seen in public too. He finally presented at the parliament to take his oath as a Member of Parliament on 7 January 2019, nine days shy of the 16 January deadline.
