  On 19 February 2024, Daniel Risch declared his intention to not run for re-election. The VU nominated Brigitte Haas for prime minister, being the second woman nominated for the position, behind Sabine Monauni in 2021. The party also nominated Hubert Büchel and Emanuel Schädler as government candidates. Haas stated that she was "available" for multiple terms if elected.
  
  On 13 August 2024, the Progressive Citizens' Party nominated former President of the Landtag and foreign minister, Ernst Walch for prime minister. The party also nominated incumbent Deputy Prime Minister of Liechtenstein Sabine Monauni and then party president Daniel Oehry as government candidates. At 68 years old, Walch is the oldest candidate in Liechtenstein's history. He declared his intention to only serve one term as prime minister should he have been elected. In an interview with 1 FL TV, incumbent President of the Landtag, Albert Frick, belonging to the FBP, announced that he would not be running for re-election. According to an October 2024 survey, only 48% of respondents wanted a government that included Walch, being the lowest of any candidate.
  
  On 29 January 2025, the newspaper Die Zeit published an article regarding Walch. In the article, it criticized his activities as a trustee and his actions as foreign minister, highlighting his involvement in numerous scandals from that time, stating that "Liechtenstein's dark past will catch up with it".
  
  In February 2024, the newspaper Liechtensteiner Vaterland conducted a survey which suggested that only 25% of respondents would support another coalition government between the Patriotic Union and Progressive Citizens' Party. However, the FBP declared that it was open to the formation of a coalition should it have won the election. Brigitte Hass also stated that she was open to a formation of a coalition with the FBP, but was sceptical of other parties.
  
  The Democrats for Liechtenstein nominated Thomas Rehak and Erich Hasler for government positions on 16 December 2024, being the first time the party presented government candidates since its formation in 2018. They said that they were open to a coalition with other parties. During campaigning, Rehak suggested the possibility of a three-party coalition, stating that the DpL "had a right to a seat in government". According to polling, the party was predicted to receive a significantly increased share of the vote compared to 2021, perhaps as high as 20%.
  
  The Free List did not present any government candidates, but it also stated that it did not rule out participation in government. Mensch Im Mittelpunkt renounced any candidates in December 2024. The Independents, which had suffered a large electoral defeat in 2021, did not present any candidates.
  
  Election campaigning is largely unregulated and carried out via social media, newspapers and broadcast media. All parties are permitted to post an official campaign video on the websites of the main newspapers in the country. The elections are the second to be carried out under the 2019 Law on Payment of Contributions to Political Parties which limited public funding to registered political parties, banned large anonymous donations and required the publication of accounts by parties.
