2000–01 Azerbaijani parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Azerbaijan on 5 November 2000, although a re-run had to be held in 11 constituencies on 7 January 2001 due to "massive irregularities". In the lead-up to the election, the authoritarian Heydar Aliyev regime banned seven opposition parties (including Musavat, the major opposition party to Aliyev's New Azerbaijan Party) from contesting the election. The election was characterized as a setback for democracy in Azerbaijan. The result was a victory for the New Azerbaijan Party, which won 75 of the 125 seats in the National Assembly. == Results == == References ==
