The gazette notice on the 12th Parliament first sitting must be revoked.
This is according to ODM secretary for political affairs Opiyo Wandayi.
In an on-going campaign by the Opposition against the swearing in of MPs during the sitting scheduled next Thursday, Wandayi said that the National Assembly clerk must act or else the sitting without NASA MPs will be regarded unconstitutional.
He argued that the "clerk should not to proceed with an illegality in the rush to score some cheap political points".
"Let that gazette notice be revoked and the first sitting of Parliament rescheduled to a date after the Supreme Court pronouncement on the presidential election petition currently before it," he said.
Wandayi added that no parliamentary business will proceed without NASA MPs.
"So instead of engaging in juvenile chest-thumping, these MPs should take time and acquaint themselves with the relevant laws and Standing Orders."
