(Redirected from Prime Minister of Liechtenstein)
  

The head of government of Liechtenstein (German: Regierungschef), known informally as the Prime Minister, is the chief executive of the Government of Liechtenstein and chairs the Cabinet of Liechtenstein. They are appointed by the sovereign prince of Liechtenstein in conjunction with the Landtag of Liechtenstein and are expected to command the confidence of both the prince and Landtag.[2] The appointed head of government is typically the leader of the political party with the most seats in the Landtag or a coalition of parties but is not required to be a member of the Landtag themselves, although they should meet the eligibility requirements for that office.

    edit

    The Landesverweser (transl. State administrator), also known as simply 'Governor', was the title of the head of government from 1848 to 1921.[6] The role originated from Michael Menzinger by him applying for the creation of the role in 1833, also serving as the first.[7] The role was renamed to Governor as a concession following the Revolution of 1848 in Liechtenstein, and was formalized upon the ratification of the 1862 constitution of Liechtenstein on 26 September.[7][8]
