US banking chairman is voted out
April 30, 2009

Bank of America shareholders have voted to oust Kenneth Lewis as the firm's chairman, following months of criticism over his running of the company.

The bank said the result of the vote at its annual general meeting had been narrow, and that Mr Lewis will continue in the chief executive position.

However, analysts said it was now the beginning of the end for Mr Lewis, 62.

He has been criticised for buying Merrill Lynch last year, and the bank's need to accept emergency state loans.
