A small group has gathered in front Parliament, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of MPs on Monday.
Police personnel stationed at the entrance to the House to monitor the situation have asked the group to disperse.
However, the organisers have told protesters to sit on the sidewalk. They have a memo to hand to the Prime Minister, on the issue of the Election Commission being under Parliament.
Those in the group carried banners, calling for the Election Commission (EC) panels to resign and over issues concerning deaths in police custody.
Lawmakers from both sides were seen entering the House.
Meanwhile, activists who had camped out since Saturday at Padang Merbuk nearby, have joined the group in front of Parliament.
