  "account": "Zahid Hamidi, the president of Umno and BN, announced that the discussion with a coalition for the PRN Melaka is nearly complete, with 95% of the process already finished. In Shah Alam, the Barisan Nasional leader stated that the coalition will be announced after the State Election Commission (SPR) meets on October 7th to determine the date for the PRN. Zahid believes that the talks with the relevant parties, likely PAS in addition to Pakatan Harapan, have been held. He mentioned that once the SPR announcement is made on October 7th, the confirmation of the coalition to work together or reach an agreement will be made. However, he did not disclose the coalition that BN is planning to form, except to confirm that they will hold separate meetings with two other coalition groups in Kuala Lumpur. Recently, PAS Deputy President Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man stated that the allocation of seats between PAS and Umno for PRN Melaka has reached around 90%. When asked if BN is ready to discuss with Pakatan Harapan for PRN Melaka, Zahid said the party is open to such efforts. Meanwhile, discussing the use of BN's symbol by PAS, the Umno president stated that it has not been decided yet, but it is open if PAS wishes to use their own symbol.",
