Some say you should stop writing this story altogether. Others that you have to fix what is wrong or finish it first. These might all be valid options.
But from what I hear, 'fixing' this story is pretty much the equivalent of writing a new one.

Might I suggest considering this story you have written some research material into your setting and events? And write a new story, with the ally that is actually getting things done as the new protagonist?
This way you are not actually throwing away anything. The parts you have written can act as examples, alternative viewpoints and background information for the real story.
