NASA leader Raila Odinga has dispatched invitation cards for his December swearing-in.
The invite, which was posted on the coalition's Telegram channel, says that the venue for the event will be communicated after the attendees are vetted.
In a brief address to supporters at Manyanja Road, Nairobi last Tuesday, Raila vowed that he will take oath of office on the day Kenya will be celebrating the 54th anniversary of its independence.
"I will be sworn-in as President through the People's Assembly and get into State House on December 12," he said before police dispersed his meeting using teargas.
"Uhuru Kenyatta is not the President of Kenya. We will not be sworn-in like [Ugandan Opposition leader Kizza] Besigye. We will be sworn-in like it was done with [Emmerson] Mnangagwa in Zimbabwe."

Former Kakamega senator Boni Khalwale, during the unveiling of the team, said the group's recommendations will lead them to a path of self-determination.
"Majority of Kenyans did not participate in the October 26 presidential election. It cannot be said that they individually and collectively delegated their sovereignty to Uhuru Kenyatta."
"There is no more accept and move on. We want our activities to be within the law," Khalwale said after reading the statement on behalf of the NASA co-principals.

The force behind Raila's latest push is yet to be established amid indications he might be getting backing from within and outside the country.
NASA critics have dismissed the plan as a mirage, a pipe dream, and an illusion created by Raila. The argument is that the Opposition leader's dream of becoming president were shattered by Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration.
