The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) recovered after its 1995 result and increased its absolute majority in the regional Cortes. The People's Party (PP), on the other hand, saw its share decrease 4 points to 40% and lost 1 seat from the previous election, not being able to maintain a part of its 1995 vote that it had received as a punishment to Felipe González's Socialist government.
United Left (IU) lost half of its votes as a result of the PSOE rise and lost its only seat in the Cortes, being expelled from the regional parliament as a result.
