Additional quotes

Important to show new face of LDP in the leadership race.

First step to do so is for me to step down.

Will fully support new leader.

Made this decision considering what's best for public.

Have no hesitation in taking responsibility as head of LDP for issues caused by members.

Not appropriate for me as leader who is stepping down to comment on successor.
