At the start of the [[2017 Andorinhean legislative election]], many considered Rodrigues to be a front runner to be nominated as a Presidential choice. After rumours of initial talks with the [[Democratic Alternative (Andorinhões)|Democratic Alternative]] party, it was announced on 21 August that he would be the choice of the Nós Andorinhianos party. Rodrigues assumed the leadership of the party for the 2017 campaign alongside [[Alícia da Praia]], who was then the parliamentary leader of the party in the [[National Assembly of the Andorinhões|National Assembly]]. Rodrigues brought some legitimacy to the Nós Andorinhianos party and placed the party as a strong contender to become the governing political party in the Andorinhões. |

He has invited many Deputies to assist to meetings of the [[Council of Ministers of the Andorinhões|Council of Ministers]] in an effort to gain support for the bills presented by the [[Government of the Andorinhões|Government]]. |
