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.
The role originated from Landesverweser (transl. State administrator), which was created upon the ratification of the 1862 Constitution of Liechtenstein. In 1921, a new constitution was ratified in which the office was replaced by that of Prime Minister.[3][4]
The incumbent Prime Minister is Daniel Risch since 25 March 2021.[5]
