The board of directors of Nissan Motor Co. will choose successor Carlos Ghosn as chairman of the board on Dec. 17, the Japanese news agency Jiji reported.
 
Nissan dismissed Ghosn last week for allegations of financial irregularities.
 
Mitsubishi Motors' Board of Directors also decided on Monday to dismiss Ghosn as its chairman after being arrested and dismissed by its ally Nissan.
 
Mitsubishi said its chief executive, Osamu Masuko, would temporarily assume the post of chairman.
