• A “Hung Assembly” occurs when no political party or pre-poll alliance secures the minimum majority required to form the government.

• Constitutional Basis:
• Article 164(1)—> Chief Minister is appointed by the Governor.
• Article 164(2) —> Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly.

• Constitution does not explicitly prescribe the procedure for inviting a party in a hung assembly —> Governor acts through constitutional discretion and conventions.

• Governor’s broad order of preference (as evolved through conventions & commissions):
1. Single largest party with support to prove majority
2. Pre-poll alliance commanding majority
3. Post-poll alliance/coalition
4. Floor test in Assembly if uncertainty continues
