| Successor | Second Otmar Hasler cabinet |
The 2001 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a majority for the Progressive Citizens' Party.[1] As a result, the Second Mario Frick cabinet was dissolved with Otmar Hasler succeeding Mario Frick as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.[2]
During the government's term, a referendum to adopt Hans-Adam's revision of the Constitution of Liechtenstein to expand his powers passed in 2003. The prince had threatened to abdicate and leave the country if the referendum did not result in his favour.[3] In the run-up to the referendum, the government supported the proposed changes.[4]
In the 2005 Liechtenstein general election the Progressive Citizens' Party lost a seat and with it their absolute majority, but remained the largest party.[5] As a result, the government was dissolved and succeeded by the Second Otmar Hasler cabinet.[2]
