In December 2010, he was chosen as the PP candidate for the mayoralty of the Zaragoza City Council.[3] In the 2011 municipal elections on May 22, 2011, for the capital of Aragon, the People's Party won with 131,350 votes (41.26%) and obtained 15 councilors. Despite this victory, the PSOE, CHA, and IU formed a coalition with their 16 councilors, achieving an absolute majority, which allowed Juan Alberto Belloch to remain the mayor.[4]

On February 14, 2015, the national electoral committee of the PP ratified Suárez as the party's candidate for the mayoralty.[5] On May 24 of that same year, the municipal elections were held in the capital of Aragon, where the People's Party once again became the most voted party with 87,554 votes (26.88%), obtaining ten councilors, five less than in the previous elections of 2011. The People's Party was only the most voted party in two of its strongholds; Centro and Universidad (despite this, it had a drop of 15 and 17 percentage points respectively compared to the previous municipal elections), as well as in the districts of Delicias, San José, and the rural neighborhoods.[6]

In the general elections on December 20, 2015, Eloy Suárez was elected deputy for the Zaragoza constituency (where he was the leading candidate) for the XI legislature.[7]

On February 1, 2016, Eloy Suárez announced his resignation as spokesperson of the People's Party and his seat as a councilor in the Zaragoza City Council. He was succeeded by Jorge Azcón as the party's spokesperson in the Zaragoza City Council.[8]
