The 2005 Basilicata regional election took place on 17–18 April 2005. 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
2005 Italian regional elections. Due to some legal issues with the presentation of the list of
Social Alternative, Basilicata did not vote along with the other
Italian regions in on 3–4 April 2005 regional elections but a couple of weeks later instead. The victory of
The Union coalition, which obtained more than two thirds of the vote, was the largest in Italy and
Vito De Filippo of
Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy, the youngest president of Basilicata and the most voted president of a region in percentage terms, was elected president 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]
