majority control
Over half ownership
Majority control is ownership or command of more than half of something—typically voting shares in a company or seats in a legislative body.
With majority control, a party can make decisions without needing approval from others: The family maintained majority control of the business for three generations.
The term implies practical power, not just numerical advantage.
