TOKYO -- Nissan Motor's outside directors on Tuesday will begin the process of selecting a successor to ousted Chairman Carlos Ghosn, with President and CEO Hiroto Saikawa considered the leading candidate.
Renault, Nissan's top shareholder with a 43% stake, had informed the Japanese automaker that it intended to nominate the next chairman, following Ghosn's arrest last month on suspicion of underreporting his income.
