Gazprombank managing board chairman Andrei Akimov could replace Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin on the board of directors of Rosneftegaz.
The decision to include Akimov on the candidate list for Rosneftegaz's board as the representative of the government, as well as on the company's audit committee, is included in a government order dated June 30.
According to the order, Sechin, who earlier was the board's chairman, has been excluded from the list of candidates for Rosneftegaz's board of directors.
Rosneftegaz is the holder of the state share packets in Rosneft and Gazprom.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
