The second Aznar Government was formed after King Juan Carlos I nominated José María Aznar to form a government following the 2000 general election on 12 March. Aznar was elected Prime Minister on 26 April by the Congress of Deputies and was sworn into office on 27 April, with his cabinet being appointed the following day. It succeeded the first Aznar Government.
After leading his party to victory in the 2000 general election, José María Aznar named his second cabinet, which lasted from 27 April 2000 to 17 April 2004, a total of 1,451 days, or 3 years, 11 months and 21 days. Aznar's second cabinet was composed mainly by members of the People's Party.
The Council of Ministers was structured into 15 ministries—not including the post of prime minister—as well as 2 deputy prime minister offices.
