You can get a majority of votes without having any sort of majority coalition.

You might have an actual agreement for the one vote to install the PM, without the people agreeing actually joining the coalition. Or you might have only 1 or two votes of a majority in your party or coalition and independents, or members of small parties, or even defecting (only for this vote) members of another large party (if party discipline is weak and/or the ballot is secret).
