State election in Liechtenstein 1993 (February)
The state election in Liechtenstein in February 1993 took place on February 7, 1993 and was the regular election of the legislature of the Principality of Liechtenstein. All 25 members of the Landtag of the Principality of Liechtenstein were elected by the people of the country in the two constituencies of the Oberland and Unterland.
This election was the first in 1993. Only a few weeks after this election, the incumbent Prime Minister Markus Büchel was asked by his party, the Progressive Citizens' Party, to resign immediately because he had supported the opposition candidate for an administrative post . Although Büchel had defended himself with the argument that as head of government he did not only have to represent his party, he was raised from office. The state parliament was dissolved and new elections were scheduled in October of the same year.
