General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 15 July 1928, with a second round on 29 July.[1][2] Early elections was called after Prince Johann II forced the resignation of the Christian-Social People's Party (CSV) government of prime minister Gustav Schädler due to an embezzlement scandal at the National Bank of Liechtenstein.[3] The result was a victory for the opposition Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP), which won 11 of the 15 seats in the Landtag.[4] Voter turnout was 93%.[4]

The election was followed by 42 consecutive years of FBP-led governments, only ending in 1970.[5]
