A group of Nokia shareholders, nine to be exact, want a meeting with Nokia CEO Stephen Elop to fire him. The shareholders are angry at Elop for selling out the company to Microsoft. Elop was previously a Microsoft executive.

The nine shareholders call themselves Nokia Plan B, plan to show up at Nokia’s shareholders’ meeting on May 3, to oust CEO Stephen Elop, the current board of directors and other executives.

According to Nokia Plan B, Microsoft has signed many similar mobile partnerships in the past, with companies like LG, Motorola, and Palm, none of which had any effect on the market.

Nokia Plan B wants to refocus Nokia’s smartphone strategy on the MeeGo platform. All of the member in Nokia Plan B previously worked at the company.

They posted the following demands a their Facebook page:

  • Fire Stephen Elop and appoint CEO with international mobile experience.
  • Fire other execs including services head Tero Ojänpera, sales chief Niklas Savander, and product development head Mary McDowell.
  • Limit the Windows Phone deal to one or two handsets in North America.
  • Make MeeGo Nokia’s primary smartphone platform.
  • Increase Symbian’s lifespan to at least 5 years.
  • End outsourcing and consolidate research and development in a single location.
