Between 24 June 1992 and 15 March 1994, prime minister of Slovakia Vladimír Mečiar formed his second cabinet in his second consecutive term in this office. Slovakia became an independent sovereign state on 1 January 1993 and thus this government was the first one after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia. On 11 March 1994, Mečiar's second cabinet suffered defeat in a parliamentary vote of no confidence, 78–2–2, in the 150-seat NR SR after President Michal Kováč criticized Mečiar's governing methods, leading to a vote of no confidence in parliament and a defection of a third of HZDS deputies, who later reformed as a new party, the Democratic Union (DU).
