The 5th Ostric regional election occurred on 19 March 2000. The governing Social Democratic Radical Party of Jón Burgstaller not only retained its lead, but increased its vote substantially, the first time an senior Ostric governing party increased its vote share. After the election, a centrist grand coalition between the SRPO and the National Consolidation Party was formed.
Background
The 1996 snap election saw the formation of a left-wing grand coalition between the unionist Social Democratic Radical Party and the separatist Ostric People's Party, in both the first "cross-sectarian" government and first grand coalition.
The government presiding over a vast expansion of the Ostric welfare system and a time of economic growth after the recession of the early 1990s. However, many supporters of the People's Party felt betrayal over agreeing to joining in government without negotiating a referendum on independence, seeing the party consistently drop in polls in favour of the newly established Ostric Coalition, founded by fishing magnate Léch Kneller.
Electoral system
The electorate elects all fifteen members of the Dorada using single non-transferable vote in one island-wide multi-member constituency.

Reactions
The SRPO dominated the election, polling the highest in its history at that point. Minister-Chairman Burgstaller announced after the results released that he was open to various negotiations from both the People's Party and the NKP. With dropping to third place and facing a new challenger in the seperatist camp, People's Party leader Waléry Plank announced his resignation on election night, and the party stated it would go in opposition. After this, a agreement was signed between the SRPO and the NKP to form government together, eased by the turn of the NKP and its leader Konrad Roth to the centre during the campaign.
Weranic media focused heavily on the populist Ostric Coalition and its entry into the Dorada, passing in votes the more established Modern Centre Party in the process. Papers often considered the Coalition a rival against the People's Party for nationalist votes, and a possibly thorn in the side of the new government.
