How do you tell the Overlord of Doom that the legislative body of the Empire of Darkness voted him out of office?

“Sire, some of the members in the legislature’s facade democracy quota have been labouring under the miscomprehension that the Imperial head of state is an elected office. What would you like to do with those that voted in alignment with the insubordination? Despite all proceedings in the legislature are not openly publicised, rumores might spread, so as a preventative measure we’re detained all MPs and staff within Parliament grounds but the longer we wait, the harder to contain any information leaks.”
