:Twitter Inc said in a filing on Friday it would not accept Egon Durban's resignation from the board, two days after shareholders blocked his re-election at an annual meeting.Twitter said Durban failed to receive the support of a majority of the votes in the re-election held earlier this week due to"voting policies of certain institutional investors regarding board service limitations".

Silver Lake Partners, where Durban is co-CEO, helped put together Musk's $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, according a filing.
