There should be rules that disincentive assassination so this doesn't happen again.

Specifically, any one party shouldn't be able to take advantage of a momentary shift in power due to an assassination of a member in the other party.

And how do you incentivise politicians to follow that rule?

Obviously there is still enough incentive. Maybe the legislature should still get her vote, from like a deputy or assistant of some kind.
