How do you delegate work without people questioning what you’re doing?

My co-head does nothing and takes credit by dropping in messages here and there and we are seen as a good team when I'm doing the coordinating and taking all initiative and getting stuff done. I'm kind of impressed by them but I hate this position. There's no incentive for me doing good work. And when delegating its being delegated equally to me and members because it is discussed. So I handle the accountability, the initiative, small tasks here and there so the team doesn't question what work I am doing and just doing the majority of work while credit is distributed equally.

How can one delegate without seeming like they aren't slacking and how can one turn the tables. I don't mind coordinating but I do BOTH. On top of handling documentation singlehandedly offsite they say attendance is mandatory offsite and so I'm stuck. The thing is one time I did not give clear instructions to my co-head and they did absolutely nothing again and completely slacked off and when I ranted to the team they didn't care either. But if I stop, the work won't be done because the ones responsible are me and my co-head and they just don't do anything for their position. In fact the team members might be doing more. But if I say it people would see me as not committed and inconsiderate because they are older and have other commitments. It seems I'm in the worst position.
