Azimio La Umoja leader Raila Odinga has played down mounting pressure in the coalition to have him name a successor to take over the Opposition mantle as his focus shifts to his bid for the African Union Commission chairmanship.

Raila said those who thought his bid for the AUC position would cause him to quit politics had missed the point of urging his supporters not to harbor fears over his continental ambitions.
