"ODM is a democratic party with strict policies, I was duly nominated as a life member of the party by TUC. Those spreading the rumours that I was pressured to step down are not even members of the party. EI Africa, Sossion said, had several special programmes and missions on labour practices and education that required him to constantly be out of the country. He said ODM was already working towards a replacement, although his name still lies with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as a nominee.
