In this article we present an analysis of the gauge invariance of the technifermion condensate and critical coupling determined from the gap equation to {ital O}({alpha}{sup 2}) in the static limit of walking technicolor. This is an extension of a previous work in which the proof of gauge invariance was restricted to {xi}=0 and {xi}={minus}3 gauges. We also briefly discuss how to generalize the proof to {ital O}({alpha}{sup 3}) and higher where {beta}({alpha}) cannot be set equal to zero for arbitrary values of {alpha}.
