Can you remove a person from office who has 49 percent of the voting rights?
Certainly! All you need to do is get 50.000001% control of the voting rights in total, and vote to have that person removed. It is unlikely that anybody with 49% of the voting rights to begin with wouldn't go to the trouble to have another 2% held in someone's name but really voted on their behalf. If YOU have over 50% of the voting rights yourself, then there is no question but that you could have this done. If you ARE faced with a skillful operator, and you can't win because the person in office controls MORE than 50% of the voting rights, then try an end run. See if the company would issue more stock (which comes with voting rights), and obtain control of this newly issued stock yourself, (even if you have to have a friendly or sympathetic acquaintance buy it), and use it to dilute the other person's control to below 50%, at which time you can have them removed. You'd probably be better off starting your own company instead. You could control ALL of the voting rights then! It would also almost certainly be MUCH cheaper as well.
