To quote directly from what Ralph said in the book... "You played a dirty trick-- we'd have given you fire if you'd asked for it--" And he also added... "You could have had fire whenever you wanted..."
At the begining of the chapter, while Ralph and Piggy are bathing in the pool Ralph asked "Where's everybody?" Ralph specifically refers to Samneric and Bill, which would indicate that he believed that there were at least five boys in his group, including himself. Piggy pointed beyond the platform and replied "That's where they have gone. Jack's party." So in fact all that actually remained of Ralph's group were Ralph and Piggy. By the morning after the party, and the killing of Simon, Samneric had rejoined Ralph's group.
Jack accused Ralph of not being fit to be a leader. He then asked the boys if they should fire Ralph as chief, but no one responds. Jack runs off crying and says that he is not going to be a part of Ralph's group anymore
After Ralph, Jack and Riger returned from seeing the "beast" on top of the mountain Jack called a meeting and accused Ralph of calling his hunters cowards which was a lie. He then held the conch against his chest and asked, "Who thinks Ralph oughtn't to be chief?" The assembled boys remained silent and Jack asked again, "Hand's up... Whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?" the silence continued until Jack eventually put the conch carefully down and left, saying "I'm not going to play any longer. Not with you. I'm not going to be part of Ralph's lot___" So the simple answer to your question is that Jack called for a vote of no confidence in Ralph and lost.
The real reason is the Lord of the Flies, which is a symbol for the evil in all humans. Simon's encounter with him in Chapter Eight shows him answering his question with this quote. "'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are what they are?'" Chapter 8, pg. 130.
Ralph insults Piggy at the beginning of the book for Jack's approval and he also chooses Jack to accompany him and Simon on their journey up the mountain.When Ralph is elected leader he offers Jack the consolation prize of being in charge of the former choir and choosing what he would like them to be.
Jack asked the boys, "Who thinks Ralph oughtn't to be chief?" there was no reply so he asked again, "Hands up... whoever wants Ralph not to be chief?" Nobody raised their hand. I'm not sure if this was technically a vote but Jack certainly asked for a vote.

In "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, Jack asks for a re-election on pages 150-152 in some editions of the book. He challenges Ralph for leadership, leading to a division among the boys on the island.
In chapter 7 of Lord of the Flies, Ralph develops a habit of being short-tempered and easily frustrated, particularly when dealing with the challenges of maintaining order and leadership among the boys. His frustrations often lead to outbursts and harsh words, affecting his relationships with the others on the island.

When Ralph tells Jack about the glasses, Jack is enraged and leads a violent attack on Ralph and his group. This results in the destruction of their camp and the theft of Piggy's glasses, which were essential for starting fires.

Seemingly out of nowhere, Ralph asked the one question I did not want to answer.
