Once someone has stood for nomination, they can not be removed from the ballot. They may step down from a position once elected, and/or make their stance clear before the election so others may choose not vote for them.
Brilliant, force power onto someone who says he doesn't want it, only yesterday tried to hold the elections hostage, and who in that very same meeting said:

good luck with your board of 5 if I'm one of them after vote
Pardon me, but have you guys lost your minds?!

This also means there are 6 nominated candidates for Board, of which 5 will be elected via a standard election.
Well, since they bylaws haven't been finalised yet, what it means for the board is technically undefined.
