Reject_leadership [agentive]
An Agent (usually a group) refuses to follow the orders and demands of the Old_leader and attempts to bring about a situation where the Old_leader no longer has their leadership Role. In some cases, the Agent has a specific New_leader that they wish to fill the Role, but sometimes there is no clear New_leader.
