Commenting further, Anfaal revealed that the machinery is ready to face the six-state polls.

She said that the state election will involve numerous Awan members from states that are not contesting to help with the campaigning process, such as training candidates and field campaign units.

At the same time, she said that the machinery has started to approach young people using social media platforms such as TikTok.

"Now, we (Awan) cannot deny the importance of social media because it is a platform to channel information to society, especially the youth," she said.
