In the clip, Thangwa outlined his perspective on internal party maneuvers and regional influence.
He suggested that Nyoro’s positions often appear to advance the president’s agenda within Mount Kenya politics, framing it as a matter of loyalty and strategy rather than open debate.
The video quickly drew attention, prompting its swift disappearance from the platform.
Thangwa responded by sharing the footage elsewhere and urging followers to support an alternative account so they could access the full version once restored.
He accused coordinated efforts of trying to silence discussion on the topic. The episode has fueled online arguments, with supporters of both sides trading claims about free speech, political interference, and regional representation.
Observers note that Mount Kenya remains a critical political battleground, and any suggestion of divided loyalties tends to spark strong reactions.
The removal has only amplified interest in the original message, turning a single video into a broader flashpoint.
As the two leaders continue their public exchange, the incident highlights how quickly digital content can become a weapon in Kenya’s competitive political landscape.
Many now wait to see whether the full recording returns and what further comments may follow from either camp.
