What if the elected candidate you chose has failed to meet the electoral promises made? Would you not like to make him accountable and have him removed? After NOTA, isn't time for right to recall? In a direct democracy right to recall refers to a process whereby an electorate is able to recall an elected representative for under-performance, corruption, or mismanagement while still in office, by filing a petition that triggers a re-election usually after a particular percentage of people sign the petition.
