Following the Dominion War, Alon began a democratic political movement called the. His support quickly grew, but he also faced opposition from the.

Nevertheless, Ghemor remained a target of the xenophobic True Way. In mid-2376, Gul Revok staged elaborate to assassinate Ghemor and lay blame on the Federation. The first phase involved an attack on two Federation starships escorting relief convoys to Cardassia and using the crews of those ships as hostages. Revok was able to capture the crew of the late-USS Lambda Paz, then demanded all convoys cease. This part of a ruse to lure Captain Limis Vircona to Cardassia in order coerce her into helping Revok, so an ex-Maquis would appear to have played a role in Ghemor's assassination.

Limis helped prevent the assassination by sending a subliminal warning to the USS Defiant. The Defiant was then able to send down a team to prevent the assassination.

Elim Garak served as Ghemor's chief of staff. Garak admitted that during his time in the Obsidian Order, he would not have supported someone like Ghemor. After the Dominion War, Garak felt Cardassia needed a change and that Ghemor was the best person to bring about that change. ( Episode 1: The True Way)
