President of the IACHR

In 2016, he was replaced by Paulo Abrão of Brazil.[6]
Ahora movement and presidential bid
On 27 February 2017, Álvarez Icaza announced he was launching a political movement in Mexico City, known as Ahora (Now), initially with the goal of putting citizen candidates on the ballot in 2018 and as a vehicle for an independent presidential bid. That October, citing the outcome of the State of Mexico election earlier that year, he withdrew his candidacy, worried that the election had been too similar to that of 1988 and declaring that he "would not be useful to the PRI", like other independent candidates who he claimed had their candidacies secretly supported by the presidency.[7][8]
2018 Senate candidacy
In March 2018, Álvarez Icaza announced that Ahora would back the Por México al Frente coalition, including presidential candidate Ricardo Anaya Cortés, and that the movement would run legislative candidates in the coalition, with three candidates for Senate and five for the Chamber of Deputies.[9][10] Álvarez joined the PAN-PRD-MC Senate ticket for Mexico City alongside Xóchitl Gálvez Ruiz.[11] The ticket finished second in the election, giving Álvarez a seat as the first minority senator.[12]
On 23 August 2018, Álvarez Icaza announced he would serve as an independent senator and not join the caucuses of any of the parties that ran him for Senate, noting that he is not a member of any of them; additionally, the other Ahora candidates elected, Ana Lucía Riojas Martínez and Carlos Morales Vázquez, would enter the legislature as independents, though they ran on the PRD and PAN lists, respectively.[13]
