And challenging a dying, out of shape old man would probably be seen as not very honorable, even given the flexible Klingon definition of honor. | |

I'm assuming it's a case of neither having quite enough support to justify a challenge, especially when there are two potential candidates for the top job. One would immediately challenge the other if they challenged K'mpec, so for example Duras might be able to kill K'mpec but would then have to fight Gowron straight away afterwards. Both have more to lose with a challenge than they stand to gain. | |

Slicer | (unless he was actually seen to be infirm or incompetent as a result of his age) - I think both Duras AND Gowron alluded to K'mpec being off his rocker for assigning Picard as the Arbiter. We the audience know that's his best choice, but the two challengers do have a point from a High Council perspective. | |
