John Mbado has been under pressure from a section of Azimio leaders who questioned why he has been absent from the recent rallies convened by Raila Odinga.
“Those who think being chairman is so important to them let them offer themselves to lead, I am ready to leave the position to them. I want to leave this position of ODM chair,” Mbadi announced on Tuesday.
