    To stop this drama from repeating itself, the rules must be written on the strongest stone possible and not left to the discretion of a governor, who is, after all, a political appointee.
    In the absence of a candidate with a clear majority from one party, the candidate who shows clear majority from multiple parties must be sworn in first.

    If he fails, then the next candidate with the most number of MLAs from a single or multiple party needs to be given a chance.

    The governor should not be allowed to think beyond the authentic letters of support before him.
    His or her only role must be to verify those letters in a transparent, time-bound manner. Further, the governor’s decision also must have a set 12-hour deadline from the time the results are announced.

    Unless we lay down these guidelines by law, we may remain mute witnesses to ugly political maneuvers that derail the spirit of an election.
