Although Rodas began his period in the Metropolitan Mayor's Office of Quito with considerable popular acceptance, poor management, corruption scandals, among many other problems of his administration, eroded his political image; therefore, after finishing his term at the head of the capital municipality, he retired from national politics and went to reside in Mexico.

Rodas' scandals tarnished SUMA's image,[6] so the movement sought to participate in the 2019 local elections [es] through multiple electoral alliances, mainly with right-wing and centrist political organizations, notably absent in the race for the mayoralty of Quito, after Mauricio Rodas' refusal to run for re-election.

After Rodas' departure, the party's leadership was assumed by Guillermo Celi, who ran as SUMA's candidate in the 2021 Ecuadorian general election,[6] obtaining tenth place, with only 0.91% of the vote.

Thus, after Guillermo Lasso took office, SUMA became part of government, with Sebastián Palacios Muñoz [es], a party member, being appointed as Minister of Sports as a political quota.

In the extraordinary 2023 Ecuadorian general election, SUMA, together with the Advance Party (Ecuador) [es], formed the Let's Act alliance, nominating former Vice President Otto Sonnenholzner, who finished in fifth place.
