The Stormont assembly will meet on Monday in a new attempt to nominate a chairman after more than 30 members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) signed a revocation petition.
Sinn Féin Vice President Michelle O’Neill said it was important for the assembly to “come together to start working” and start offering to the public.
But Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Jeffrey Donaldson called Sinn Féin’s motion to repeal a ploy.
The DUP has blocked the election of a president and the formation of an executive following the elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly, as part of its protest against the Northern Ireland Protocol.
Following a Sinn Féin motion, outgoing spokesman Alex Maskey said in a letter to MPs that the aim of Monday’s revocation was to elect a president, vice presidents and appoint a prime minister and deputy prime minister.
O’Neill said: “It is very important that we remember the assembly and that we try, once again, to train an executive and set up the assembly to deal with the cost of living crisis, to fix our service. health and any other outstanding issues.
“I am glad that other parties have supported our request for revocation because that means we have another chance to choose a president, put ministers in office and get down to business and start offering to the public.
“This is the democratic result of the elections and this must be respected. I am glad that all of us who want to make politics work will be in this House on Monday and we will debate it. I hope we can get to a point where we can really choose people for the job. “

But Donaldson said his party would continue to block the return of decentralized shared power institutions until it was protocol.
He said: “If you take into account that for three long years, and on several occasions during that period in which this assembly was convened to elect a president, Sinn Féin on each occasion abstained from those proceedings, the majority of the people who have been there with a little salt the new determination of Sinn Féin to restore the work institutions they abandoned for three years.
“And if they think doing a stunt like this next Monday will change things, then they really don’t understand unionism and our determination to keep going until we get the decisive action required to move everyone forward.”
