		There is no doubt that from the legal/constitutional point of view the Governor General did not err in appointing Albert Margai as the prime minister, if he was convinced that he, Albert, commanded the confidence of the majority of members in parliament.
		Milton Margai could not choose his successor under such arrangements, unless if he was able to convince his fellow parliamentarians to accept his choice.
		If Albert Margai did not enjoy the confidence of his fellow parliamentarians, he could also have been deposed, or forced to call an election, by a simple majority vote after his assumption of power -- this is regardless of whether he has the backing of the GG.
