Recall that in September 2025, Jalal-Abad was renamed to Manas. Later, the question of granting the city the status of republican significance was raised, which could place it on par with Bishkek and Osh. Against the backdrop of these changes, rumors began to emerge in society about a possible transfer of the capital to Manas.
Kamchybek Tashiev, commenting on these rumors, expressed the opinion that "time will tell." After his resignation from the position of chairman of the GKNB, the possibility of returning the city to its old name - Jalal-Abad - was once again discussed on social media.
