ousters
Removals from power
Ousters is the plural of ouster, meaning removals from a position or place.
An ouster is typically a forced departure—from office, property, or membership: The board voted for the CEO's ouster.
The word implies someone being pushed out rather than leaving voluntarily.
A series of ousters followed the corruption scandal.
