He served as Secretary-General of the Pacific Community from 1993 to 1996. He was a batonbearer for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Queen's Baton Relay when the baton came to his archipelago in February 2022.

He resigned in February 1984 while he was being prosecuted for a tax violation, but was reelected and restored to the presidency weeks later by the Parliament for a five-year term. In December 1988, he attempted to dismiss the Prime Minister, Walter Lini, and install a new government headed by his own nephew, Barak Sopé; the Supreme Court of Vanuatu overturned the President's decision the next day. The Electoral College removed Sokomanu from office for gross misconduct in 1989. Sokomanu was sentenced to a lengthy term in jail, but the Vanuatu Court of Appeals overturned the sentence.
