My understanding is that unless you have provision (in a shareholder's agreement for example) that gives you that power the answer is no. I believe that if you sued the company a judge would likely intervene on your behalf though.
Ultimately the directors are always elected by the shares, and unless there is something really strange about the voting rights, someone owning a controlling interest in the shares should be able to control election to the board, which in turn would allow that person to control the board. Controlling the shares + controlling the board = controlling the company.
The shares do elect, but the owner of the shares can be required to vote a certain way. You could sell 90% of your shares and add a "ELECTION OF BOARD DIRECTORS" clause to the agreement.
If you own 90% of the stock you should be able to remove or replace all the directors, and once you do that your new directors can rehire you. There may be a lag if the company's charter prohibits shareholders from acting by written consent or calling special meetings, but even if that were the case, anyone owning 90% should not be out in the cold for long.
For instance you may retain the stock, but have explicit agreements where specific investors get to have a specified representation on the board. Then no matter how much stock you own, you can't get rid of those investors.
