  "summary": "Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has arranged a meeting tonight with Negeri Sembilan assemblymen from Barisan Nasional, PAS, and Parti Wawasan Negara in an effort to resolve the state's ongoing constitutional crisis. The meeting, held at Menara Dato’ Onn, aims to coordinate the parties and identify possible solutions in line with the state Constitution and customs, according to Bernama. Zahid, who is also BN chairman, emphasized that any solution must prioritize the people's interests while respecting the state's laws, Constitution, and customs. He also gave Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim full mandate to seek a way forward, including seeking an audience with the Yang Dipertuan Besar Negeri Sembilan Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, the four Undangs, and Tunku Besar Tampin. The possibility of declaring a political emergency in Negeri Sembilan has been ruled out by Zahid, as there has been no disturbance to peace in the state, and there is no need to consider such a thing.",
