[[Walter Johannes]] of the [[Principles of Democracy Party|Principles Party]] formed the '''first Johannes ministry''' and was appointed [[Prime Ministers of Great Morstaybishlia|Prime Minister of Great Morstaybishlia]] by [[Lambertus VII|King Lambertus VII]] on 4 May 2005, following the [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 general election]]. Johannes' first ministry concluded with the [[2012 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2012 general election]], where he won a majority, leading to the formation of the [[Second Johannes ministry|second Johannes ministry]].
 
Johannes had been elected leader of the [[Principles of Democracy Party|Principles]] in 2004 to succeed [[Samminel HerinchawHerinshaw]], during a time of political uncertainty. The [[State of Morstaybishlia]] was a prominent political question, that the [[MBE Labour|Labour]] Prime Minister [[Verlhanz Rothgerus]] had failed to answer for over a year. The Principles enjoyed a renewal of support over the next year as the Morstaybishlian economy went through a period of contraction.
 
It was widely speculated the Principles would win the election, but their majority surprised everyone.
