TVK emerged as the single largest party but initially lacked a clear majority in the Assembly. The Governor reportedly asked TVK to furnish support from at least 118 MLAs before government formation, leading to political controversy and debate regarding constitutional conventions. Constitutional experts emphasized that the proper method to determine majority is a floor test in the Assembly rather than subjective assessment by the Governor.\u00a0"}
