Yeah we would have. The charter has provisions for just such an occasion. The idea is that if the incumbant looses the election, but the winner does not have enough seats for a majority then the incumbant party has the right to petition to form a government. It sounds odd, but it preserves a government in one form or another to ensure the country continues to run..
We wouldnt have the supreme court ruling, a thousand protestors, and a hundred political specials regarding it
