TOKYO -- Nissan Motor's turnaround efforts suffered a heavy blow as Jun Seki, who assumed one of the automaker's three new leadership posts just a month ago, will leave the company to join Japanese motor maker Nidec as early as February, Nikkei learned on Tuesday.

Seki is seen as a potential candidate to become Nidec's next president.
