  "account": "On August 23, 2022, Umno suggested that PAS could use the Barisan Nasional (BN) logo for the PRN Melaka election, if it could help solidify cooperation. However, Umno Vice President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man's deputy, Khaled Nordin, emphasized that this openness was not extended to all parties. According to Utusan Malaysia, only parties willing to contest using the BN logo would be considered, subject to the party's final decision. Khaled did not confirm whether the openness would be extended to other PN members like Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan). He added that only those who wanted to join their home \"only if we love them\" would be welcomed. Meanwhile, Tuan Ibrahim reported that negotiations with Umno for the PRN Melaka seat were nearly 90% complete before being ultimately decided by each party. PAS also expressed its willingness to use the BN logo if it could help solidify cooperation, as stated by PAS President Hadi Awang earlier. Previously, there were suggestions that PN component parties might need to contest under a different logo if their activities under the Malaysian Societies Registration Department (JPPM) continued to be stalled. JPPM temporarily halted PN activities as of September 23, pending objections from Bersatu and the need for these parties to answer questions raised by the agency affiliated with them. Apart from PAS and Wawasan, PN also included Pejuang, MIPP, and Gerakan. The People's Alliance's stance became uncertain after its relationship with PAS ended and it also contested under its own logo in the PRN Negeri Sembilan election.",
