In 1993, the Slovak National Party joined the government led by Prime Minister Mečiar. After a number of MPs left both parties of the ruling coalition, the Mečiar cabinet was brought down by a vote of non-confidence in March 1994. A coalition led by Jozef Moravčík, the former Czechoslovak and Slovak Foreign Minister, led the country to early elections.
