National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi is the latest leader to call for dialogue between President Kenyatta and National Super Alliance (Nasa) leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking on Thursday, Muturi, however, stated that Raila should operate within the law.
He said the government would not be comfortable negotiating with Nasa if it was transformed into an illegal entity.
He was speaking after casting his ballot at Kanyuambora Primary School in Mbeere, Embu County.
The speaker said that Parliament was also ready to lead talks to help end the strife between Jubilee Party and Nasa.
He affirmed that the talks must be anchored in law.
“I heard the public pronouncement of transformation of Nasa into something strange. They are at liberty to call themselves whatever they choose except that what they choose must operate within the confines of the Constitution and the law applicable to legitimate movements. If they choose to be guerrillas the state would still deal with them,” he said.
Mr Muturi also asked Nasa leaders not to incite their followers into breaking the law or preventing other Kenyans from voting.
