Viljoen took office following the 2004 legislative election, when his party, the MAG, appointed him to the National Assembly. He replaced Kosie Pretorius.

In the 2009 elections, Viljoen and MAG did not receive enough votes to earn a seat in the National Assembly for the 5th National Assembly from 2010-2015.
