Brigitte Haas will be the wealthy municipality’s first female head of government after her Fatherhood Union party won an election on Sunday.
Liechtenstein is set for its first female prime minister after Brigitte Haas’ conservative Fatherland Union won a general election in the tiny Alpine principality.Haas’ party received 38.3% of the vote in Sunday’s election for the legislature in Vaduz, a slight gain compared with the last election four years ago when it had 35.9%. That gave the party an unchanged tally of 10 seats in the country’s 25-member parliament.The Fatherland Union has traditionally formed coalitions with the Progressive Citizens’ Party (FBP), which saw its support decline to 27.5% in the election — from 35.9% in 2021 — and lost three of its 10 seats. Overall turnout was 76.3%, with 16,171 ballots cast.Liechtenstein has only ever had male prime ministers since the job was introduced in 1921. Haas — a lawyer and the managing director of the country’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry — is expected to succeed Daniel Risch, a member of her own party who decided not to seek another term, on 20 March.Women in Liechtenstein only won the right to vote in 1984 — making it the last country in Europe to grant universal suffrage. Sandwiched between Austria and Switzerland, the German-speaking microstate of about 40,000 people is a constitutional hereditary monarchy, meaning that government legislation requires assent from the head of state, Prince Hans-Adam II. The ruling prince has the power to veto referendum results, appoint judges and fire the government.The country has the second highest income per capita in Europe — behind Monaco — at €191,000, due mainly to its manufacturing industry and financial sector, according to data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).Additional sources • AP
