In the greater interest

No doubt, the party on record expressed serious reservations about the accord. But even then, it offered, in the greater interest of the people and the movement, to support the XXX in its efforts to force the government to implement the accord in toto.

Is the phrasing of the sentence okay? Especially the part highlighted?

I wanted to mean 'in public.' Does the sentence sound natural without 'on the record'?

Say 'in public' or, better, 'publicly'.

The rest of your text is OK.
