Earlier, DAP national chairman Karpal Singh said the rally did not need a permit as it is a state function.
"It is a gathering to introduce the new exco lineup. That is the purpose of the assembly.
"I have had a word with chief minister Lim Guan Eng who wrote a letter this morning informing the police of the purpose of the gathering," he said.
"The state government has the right to organise a rally like this at the Penang Esplanade which is under the jurisdiction of the Penang Municipal Council," he said.
