Unless and until the members of the Opposition decide otherwise by majority vote , the "Leader of the Opposition" shall be the leader of the party within The Opposition with a plurality of seats. Should more than one party within the Opposition possess a plurality of seats, a majority vote shall be conducted among Opposition MCs upon the seating of a new Cosa to select a Leader of the Opposition from among those parties so tied for a plurality. This shall include multiple rounds of balloting as necessary in the event that more than two parties are initially so tied until one eligible candidate receives the support of a majority of Opposition Cosă seats. In the event this vote results in a tie among the final two participants, one of those two shall be chosen by random draw conducted by the Chancery.
