In November 2000, her parliamentary position was reduced until 2001 after the publication of electoral fraud and Alberto Fujimori's resignation from the presidency of the republic, by fax from Japan. In the same year, new general elections were called for 2001, where Moyano tried his re-election to Congress, by Cambio 90 - Nueva Mayoría, without success.
In August 2001, after Congresswoman Carmen Lozada was removed from office for acts of corruption, Moyano was summoned by Congress to hold the position. She was sworn in as an assistant congresswoman for the 2001-2006 parliamentary term.
In the 2006 general elections, she was again elected congresswoman for Alianza por el Futuro, with 9,938 votes, for the 2006-2011 parliamentary period.

Between 2009 and 2011, she fulfilled her work as a congresswoman in the different work commissions of the Congress of the Republic, such as: Decentralization, Constitution, Housing and Lifting of Immunity.
Completing her legislative work, Moyano again attempted her re-election to Congress in the 2011 general elections by Fuerza 2011 led by Keiko Fujimori. However, she was not reelected.
