If political parties were eliminated, interest groups may have more power as they could have direct access to policymakers without the filter of party influence. However, without parties to provide structure and coordination, interest groups may face challenges in advocating for their positions effectively and could struggle to influence government decisions on a broader scale.
Interest groups focus on a specific policy where as political parties have a wider spectrum on their political agenda.
1st Political parties are normally much bigger with exception to the AARP. 2nd the main function of a political party is to win election so they can control the government, interest groups do not offer candidates themselves. Interest groups aim to influence the officials who are elected. 3rd interest groups are usually narrower in their focus than political parties. Finally, many interest groups are extremely ideological whereas the two parties are not.
Interest groups are different from political parties in the sense that they are the ones paying the political parties to help them represent certain views or get certain bills passed in their favor.

I believe that political parties and special interest groups formed mainly to group like-ideas together and give a voice to lesser known platforms.
