Ngunyi has suggested that the differences between the two leaders go beyond politics, arguing that social class continues to influence how they relate to each other.
He also sent Ruto a strong message ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In a post shared on his X account on Wednesday, November 11, Ngunyi urged Ruto not to lose the focus he had during the 2022 presidential election.
He argued that the coming election would still be about class differences, which he described as the real enemy.
According to the analyst, Ruto should understand this issue instead of allowing political disagreements to distract him.
Ngunyi went further to claim that Uhuru does not respect Ruto because of their different social backgrounds.
He suggested that the former president's attitude towards his successor is connected to how he views Ruto's humble beginnings.
The analyst's remarks have brought renewed attention to the political relationship between the two leaders, which became strained after the 2022 election.
To explain his argument, Ngunyi used a striking question that he believes reflects the attitude towards Ruto's background. He stated, "What does a chicken seller know about the state?"
The remark referred to Ruto's past as a chicken seller before he rose through politics to become Kenya's president.
Ngunyi used the statement to highlight what he considers class-based prejudice in the country's political leadership.
He concluded by advising Ruto that he should not allow anger to overcome him as political competition intensifies.
Ngunyi told the president that he could either get angry or get even, adding that he should first get angry and then get even.
His message has raised questions about how Ruto will approach his political differences with Uhuru as the country moves closer to the 2027 General Election.
