The results of the vote come a day after Luckin released findings from an investigation, which said its former chief executive and chief operating officers were involved in fabricating annual sales of about $300 million.
The special committee running the investigation also recommended Lu’s removal based on evidence from its investigation and the chairman’s degree of cooperation.
Lu, who is the controlling shareholder of Luckin, is also the founder of auto-rental firm CAR Inc and Chinese ride-hailing firm Ucar Inc.
During the investigation, Luckin sacked its CEO and COO, both executives who had previously held top positions at Lu’s other firms.
