Nissan shareholders vote to remove director Motoo Nagai at a company meeting, according to reports from Japan Times and the Financial Times. Nagai, a former Mizuho executive, does not receive sufficient support for reappointment. The Financial Times says Renault abstains from the vote, a factor that contributes to Nagai failing to secure approval. Japan Times frames the move as part of Renault’s largest power shift at Nissan since Renault agreed in 2023 to relinquish much of its influence over the Japanese automaker. The Financial Times additionally links Nagai to support for a potential merger with Honda, describing him as a director who backed the idea. The two outlets agree on the core outcome: Nissan shareholders remove Nagai from the board. Taken together, the reporting indicates the decision follows internal shareholder and governance dynamics involving Nissan’s largest stakeholder influence, with Renault’s voting posture playing a key role in the director’s removal. The reports do not describe immediate plans for succession or further board changes beyond Nagai’s ouster.
