Supporters have accused some party officials of amassing wealth and doing very little to help the fortune of the party in the elections.

Speaking at the 6th John Evans Atta Mills Commemorative Lecture at the University of Cape Coast in the Central Region on the theme: "Ethicality, Democracy and National Development: The Legacy of President Atta Mills", Kwesi Botchwey said: "Indeed, the loss of ethicality had a lot to do in the party’s defeat in 2016".

He further explained that "In the work that I chaired – thanks to the decision of the national executive to involve me in that important exercise – we identified, and the party is aware, of the incidence of observation of grievances, bitterness, over what many saw as the manipulation and breakdown of integrity in the selection of executives in the various levels of management in the party’s affairs from the branch upwards."
