Why did Venustiano Carranza reject the decisions of the Convention of Aguascalientes?

Venustiano Carranza rejected the decisions of the Convention of Aguascalientes primarily because the assembly, dominated by the revolutionary forces of Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, voted to remove him from power and appoint Eulalio Gutiérrez as provisional president.1

As a moderate leader of the Constitutionalist Army, Carranza viewed the radical demands for immediate social and agrarian reform championed by the Conventionists as a threat to his authority and political vision. Following the assembly's decision to replace him, Carranza refused to recognize the convention's legitimacy, effectively splitting the revolutionary movement. He subsequently withdrew his government to [Veracruz], leading to a civil war between his forces (the Carrancistas) and the coalition of Villa and Zapata (the Conventionists).21
