Shareholders voted to replace Mr. Ghosn with Renault’s new chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard. He will assume the role of vice chairman on Nissan’s board.

They also removed Mr. Kelly, who is free on bail in Tokyo, from his seat on the board.

Mr. Ghosn’s sudden fall plunged the auto-making alliance of Nissan and Renault into chaos. Mr. Ghosn led both companies and the alliance itself, and his arrest added tension to a relationship that already had begun to fray as Nissan struggled to assert independence from Renault.

But in recent weeks, the group, which includes the Japanese automaker Mitsubishi, has pledged to redouble its efforts to work together.

Renault is eager to move on and focus on the future business of the alliance. Tensions had blown up between it and Nissan after Mr. Ghosn’s arrest, as Nissan leaked allegations of his wrongdoing into the media. Renault and the French government, its biggest shareholder, responded bitterly and maintained a presumption of innocence toward Mr. Ghosn.

But in recent months, Renault’s own internal investigations began to turn up questionable use of company funds by Mr. Ghosn. These included a lavish Marie Antoinette-themed wedding party at Versailles, and payments to a Renault-Nissan business partner in Oman that are suspected of being used to help finance Mr. Ghosn’s yacht. Renault referred both findings to French prosecutors.

In March, the companies announced the formation of a new operating board for the alliance, after discussions at Nissan’s headquarters in Yokohama aimed at creating a new path forward for the three automakers, with a greater voice for the junior Japanese partners. The board includes two representatives from Renault and one each from Nissan and Mitsubishi.

Still, questions surrounding the imbalance in the alliance’s ownership structure remain. While Renault has argued that closer ties would help the companies work better together and share costs, some Nissan executives remain concerned that Renault, which holds a 43 percent stake in the Japanese automaker, would still wield greater power. Nissan owns a 15 percent nonvoting stake in the French automaker.
