[Black Panther] What happens if the King of Wakanda does not accept the combat challenges?

In Black Panther, T'Challa is challenged to participate in combat twice as part of the rituals of becoming or remaining king. 

If I recall correctly, the second time he accepted the challenge (with Killmonger), his people told him that he didn't have to accept, but T'Challa replied by saying that it was his choice to accept. 

If he hadn't chosen to accept, would the council have to decide? If they do, I'm sure they'd show their bias towards T'Challa and let him keep his kingship. If that's the case, would Killmonger have any other way of taking the throne?

They said he didn't have to accept because they thought killmonger was illegitimate and didn't have a claim. Once it became clear that he did have a rightful claim to the throne there wasn't really a choice.
