Alekperov sole candidate for Lukoil presidential post

MOSCOW. Feb 4 (Interfax) - Current Lukoil President Vagit Alekperov is the only one on the list of candidates for the post, Lukoil said in a statement.

Reports Alekperov might soon leave the job surface in the press last September.

Alekperov announced subsequently that he did not plan to step down. "The company's many projects provide grounds for keeping the post, the team I put together is aimed at creation, and I will be leading them for the next few years," he said.
