After the dissolution of the government according to 76 (2), a new government should be formed according to 76 (3) - If the government formed according to Article 76 (2) of the Constitution fails to confirm the vote of confidence, the formation of a majority government is called under the same article or according to 76 (3) a large party of the Parliament will remove the government. When it comes to leadership, this issue is not a matter of the president's discretion, but a mandatory issue clarified by the constitution.'
