That's true and false.

It's true in the sense that the bylaws do not govern change of affiliation
after the election results have been obtained.

It's false in that there is a rule for following the results when more
than 40% of the directors are of one company 
<https://people.gnome.org/~tobiasmue/bylaws2012/bylaws.html#number-and-qualification-of-directors>.

Now that can find yourself on either side of the fence, as to whether
you think that rule applies.

In any case you can ask yourself what *should* be done.
And I think that if you have the option of either following the interests of
your electorate or deciding for yourself, that following the electorate is
simply of better style.

Cheers,
