Further investigations revealed that the party offices were also locked because of internal squabbles, factionalism and non–payment of salaries to those who run them, which has created division among party supporters.

Most of the disillusioned party members who spoke to The Chronicle pointed out the until the party is able to develop structures which gives due recognition to those who are toiling for the growth of the party, these internal squabbles will continue to trouble the NPP.
