Almeida was elected as a member of the Council for Citizen Participation and Social Control of Ecuador during the 2019 Ecuadorian sectional elections. The six other members elected were María Fernanda Rivadeneira, Victoria Desintonio, Rosa Chalá, José Carlos Tuárez,  and Christian Cruz. The announcement in May 2019 had taken 54 days and six candidates had been excluded. After the dismissal of four of her colleagues in August 2019, the reformed plenary session of the council resolved to appoint Almeida as the new vice president with six votes in favor and one abstention. In October 2020, after the removal of Christian Cruz, the second person to hold the position of president, she as vice-president assumed the presidency. On the 9 February 2022 Hernán Ulloa replaced her as President of the council after the majority of councillors decided that Almeida should be removed as President, and David Rosero should lose his position of Vice President. This was done when only four councillors were present and it was behind a police cordon. David Rosero, Juan Javier Dávalos and Almeida were not there and Almeida did not arrive until 4pm. She accused the four present of creating a coup and she blamed the President for his interference. A month later the new council had failed to make any appointments. References
