==History==
The governor's role is largely ceremonial, but plays a crucial role when it comes to deciding who should form the next government or in suspending the legislature as has happened in the recent past. After having stable governance for nearly thirty years up to 1990, Goa is now notorious for its political instability having seen fourteen governments in the span of the fifteen years between 1990 and 2005.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070313090814/http://www.hindu.com/2005/01/31/stories/2005013104051100.htm Odds stacked against Parrikar], Anil Sastry, ''[[The Hindu]]'', 2005-01-31, verified 2005-04-02</ref> In March 2005 the assembly was dissolved by the governor and [[President's Rule]] was declared, which suspended the legislature. A [[by-election]] in June 2005 saw the Congress coming back to power after winning three of the five seats that went to polls. The [[Indian National Congress|Congress party]] and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) are the two largest parties in the state. In the assembly pole of 2007, Congress-led coalition won and started ruling the state.<ref>{{cite news |first= Sanjay|last=Banerjee |title=Congress set to rule Goa again |url= http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-06-06/india/27988125_1_congress-mlas-independents-new-clp-leader |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20121022111950/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2007-06-06/india/27988125_1_congress-mlas-independents-new-clp-leader |url-status= dead |archive-date= 22 October 2012 |date= 6 June 2007|work= [[The Times of India]]|access-date= 2007-08-05}}</ref> Other parties include the [[United Goans Democratic Party]], the [[Nationalist Congress Party]] and the [[Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party]].<ref>[http://northgoa.nic.in/ North Goa District Website, Panaji Goa http://northgoa.nic.in<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
