Muñiz ran again for Senator in the 2012 general elections, but lost to the candidates of the Popular Democratic Party (PPD).

In 1994, Muñiz was president of the PNP Youth in Moca. Two years later, he served as regional director of the youth of his party in the West. In 1998, he was appointed as regional director of public services.
