The 2000 Basilicata regional election took place on 16 April 2000. The election was for all 30 seats of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically became a member of the council alongside two other seats, plus that of the second-placed candidate. It was the third-last election of the 2000 Italian regional elections. Filippo Bubbico of the Democrats of the Left was elected president, defeating Nicola Pagliuca of Forza Italia by a landslide. As part of what became a over 20-year rule of the centre-left coalition, the results in Basilicata reflected their comparison as the political equivalent of the left-wing Emilia-Romagna region in Southern Italy.[1] [2] [3]
