The election was for all 21 seats, reduced from 30, of the Regional Council of Basilicata and the president of Basilicata, who automatically became a member of the council alongside the second-placed candidate. It was the last election of the 2013 Italian regional elections. The snap election was called upon the resignation of the incumbent president of Basilicata, Vito De Filippo of the Democratic Party, on 24 April 2013 and the subsequent dissolution of the Regional Council of Basilicata. Several regional ministers and councillors had been involved in an expenses scandal, and one minister and two councillors had been arrested. As Basilicata is a traditional stronghold of the centre-left coalition, Marcello Pittella (a former Italian Socialist Party member and brother of Gianni Pittella, the then Vice President of the European Parliament) was elected by a landslide 59.6% of the votes. Its main opponent, Tito Di Maggio of Civic Choice (supported by the centre-right coalition, comprising The People of Freedom and the Union of the Centre), gained 19.4% of the votes. The Democratic Party was the most voted party with 24.8%, followed by Pittella's personal list with 16.0%. Background In the 2010 Basilicata regional election, the incumbent president Vito De Filippo won in a landslide election. On 24 April 2013, De Filippo resigned, resulting in a snap election.24 April 2013 Si dimette Vito de Filippo (Pd), presidente della Regione Basilicata https://st.ilsole24ore.com/art/notizie/2013-04-24/dimette-vito-filippo-presidente-194422.shtml 26 March 2024 Il Sole 24 Ore itSarzanini Fiorenza 25 April 2013 Arresti in Basilicata si dimette il governatore https://archivio.corriere.it/Archivio/interface/slider.html#!-Arresti-in-Basilicata-si-dimette-il-governatore/NobwRAdghgtgpmAXGA1nAngdwPYCcAmYANGAC5wAepSYABAIK65wDOpAlrexLQEJQt2AG3YBjKKSi1BtfO3ilyXIbQDm2AG5xc0UngQBfALpA 26 March 2024 Corriere della Sera 26 it He had resigned after investigations into councilors and aldermen led to the house arrest of two centre-left coalition councilors (Vicenzo Viti of the Democratic Party and Rosa Mastrosimone of Italy of Values) and the People of Freedom group leader and 2010 candidate Nicola Pagliuca.

Di Bello had created the alternative list Let's Free Basilicata, through which he sought an agreement with Left Ecology Freedom and with a list organized by Silvana Arbia, chancellor of the International Criminal Court and hypothesized as a presidential candidate. The latter's last-minute resignation led to the reduction of the coalition to two lists and the candidacy of Murante as president.Margherita Agata 20 October 2013 Il giorno delle liste.
