running for the boardFeb 23, 2013

we had our annual meeting and i informed my group that i wanted to run for office. i could not make the meeting due to ill health. i gave my proxy to another shareholder who submitted my name to run. it was turned down by a group then serving on the board because i was selling my apartment. our propritory leease states that a non shrareholder can hold office. in fact a boyfriend of an owner was elected to the board that night. the only reason i was selling was becuase the board forced my hand when they turned down my subletters. can the board do this to me? is this leagle? was i discriminated against?
