In January 2015, the politician Elisa Carrió ( CC-ARI ) and the Mayor of Buenos Aires, Mauricio Macri ( PRO ) announced that they would be entering into an electoral alliance for the 2015 presidential elections in order to “offer a competitive alternative to the Peronists who have ruled for decades” to offer. In March 2015, the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) joined the alliance. Other small parties followed. In June 2015 they agreed on the name: "Cambiemos" ("Let's change").

In the primary elections (PASO), Mauricio Macri clearly prevailed over UCR candidate Ernesto Sanz and CC-ARI candidate Elisa Carrió. He was nominated for the elections on October 25, 2015 together with his vice-presidential candidate Gabriela Michetti . In the first ballot, Cambiemos received 34.15% of the vote and was second behind Daniel Scioli , who stood for the Peronist electoral alliance Frente para la Victoria from incumbent Cristina Fernández de Kirchner . In the subsequent runoff election, Macri won with 51.34% of the vote.

Renamed to "Juntos por el Cambio" 2019

For the 2019 presidential election , incumbent Mauricio Macri said he would run for a second term. The Cambiemos alliance was renamed Juntos por el Cambio and continued to consist of the same alliance partners.
