Kabando's remarks have sparked fresh debate over the future of Mt Kenya politics, with supporters and critics offering contrasting views on whether Nyoro should remain within his current political fold or align himself with the emerging opposition movement ahead of the 2027 General Election.
According to Kabando, bringing together influential Mt Kenya leaders under one political banner could significantly strengthen the region's bargaining power in national politics.
He suggested that Nyoro, Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua would form a formidable political team if they worked together within the same political outfit.
The former legislator argued that such a coalition would consolidate support across the region and present a stronger challenge in the next presidential election.

He encouraged the legislator to make what he termed a decisive political move, saying unity among key regional leaders would strengthen the region's influence in future coalition negotiations.
His remarks quickly generated widespread reactions on social media, where Kenyans expressed sharply divided opinions.
Some users welcomed the proposal, arguing that greater unity among Mt Kenya leaders would improve the region's bargaining position in national politics while strengthening the opposition ahead of the next election.
Others dismissed Kabando's appeal, insisting that Nyoro should remain focused on serving his constituents rather than becoming involved in early political realignments.
Some supporters of the Kenya Kwanza administration also argued that President William Ruto continues to enjoy support across different parts of the country, maintaining that political alliances alone will not determine the outcome of the 2027 election.
