Taking the matter to the social media platform X, Dawar had also said, "As of the latest results received so far in my constituency NA-40 North Waziristan, I am leading the polls but there are blatant attempts to rig the final results. 27 Presiding officers are being held hostage at Shewa Qila. FC Personnel are forcing them to sign blank Form-45."

Gohar also condemned firing on Dawar calling it a "cowardly attack", and claiming that the attack was orchestrated by the Election Commission of Pakistan.

This attack upon Dawar is has been orchestrated merely a month after he had survived a similar attack on his convoy during an election rally in KPK's tribal districts. According to the statement quoted by the Dawn, other than Dawar several other party workers were also injured during the open fire incident. Gohar also said that she had demanded the district administration of KPK to take adequate action regarding the incident but was not able to contact them.
In the Dawn report, Gohar has also stated that NDM leaders were in the process of filing an official complaint over the incident. They claim that the personnel from the law enforcement had opened fire on Dawar's protest. However, no statement from the police has yet been issued in this regard, according to Dawn.
Dawar raised the issue of polling agents being attacked during elections earlier as well. At that time Dawar had highlighted that three female polling agents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Tappi have been attacked by the Taliban during the ongoing general elections. However, the three women escaped the blast very narrowly.
NDM leader Dawar further asked the District Returning Officer (DRO) to change the polling stations in Tappi, however, his letter was ignored.
Moreover, he also asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of the security situation in Tappi urgently.
"Three of our female polling agents in Tappi have been attacked by the Taliban. They have escaped the blast very narrowly. I had written to the DRO to change the polling stations in Tappi but my letter was ignored. The ECP has to take notice of the security situation in Tappi urgently," NDM leader Mohsin Dawar said in a post shared on X.
