    Solution

    Since the noun is uncountable, ‘many’ is incorrect. It should be ‘much’. Here, ‘any’ also can be correct. If any Governor believed that he had any say in the matter of fixing a date for the Speaker’s election, it is both contrary to the constitutional scheme and a sign of playing a politically partisan role.
