The mediation talks, sanctioned by the Registrar of Political Parties John Lorionokou after an objection to changes in party officials, have collapsed without agreement.
The discussions were meant to resolve internal leadership tensions but ended in a stalemate, leaving the party divided and uncertain about its immediate direction.
According to sources familiar with the process, both sides maintained firm positions, making compromise difficult despite repeated efforts by mediators to broker peace.
The failure now raises questions over the future of the negotiations and whether another round of dialogue will be attempted in the coming weeks.
Party insiders say the impasse reflects deeper disagreements that go beyond the official agenda, with trust issues emerging as a major obstacle.
The unresolved matter has also sparked online debate, with supporters taking to social media and referencing a recent Facebook post highlighting the dispute.
Analysts warn that continued delays could weaken confidence in the party’s internal processes if no agreement is reached soon.
For now, the stalled mediation leaves stakeholders waiting for a clear path forward as tensions remain high within the party ranks.
Observers note that previous attempts to resolve similar disputes have often required external intervention and extended negotiation timelines.
The Registrar’s role in convening the talks was intended to ensure neutrality and restore order within the party structure.
However, disagreements over representation and authority reportedly undermined progress from the outset of the mediation process.
With talks now collapsed, attention shifts to whether party leadership will attempt informal reconciliation efforts outside the formal framework.
Party supporters remain divided, with some calling for fresh elections while others push for internal compromise to avoid further fragmentation and reputational damage in the public eye.
Officials issued no timeline for next steps following failed mediation effort.
