They are largely a political institution. So, saying they ahd political reasons is like saying the night is dark. It's really a nonissue. An organization can lead as well as represent.
That's the thing, the NAACP used to mean something for black people. They used to stand up for their rights, hold meaningful protests, and stand up for what used to be an oppressed race. Now that their race has the rights they should, have nothing to protest, and are not oppressed, they should have focused on issues that continue to hold blacks back ie single parenthood, education, crime. Instead, the engage in political discourse and partisanship. It's a real shame honestly.
