  "account": "Jefri Safry, the Deputy Leader of Bersatu Melaka, has left the party to join Wawasan. The move comes as Jefri expressed that his continued involvement in Bersatu no longer aligned with the party's leadership, particularly concerning the feasibility of political cooperation between Bersatu and Pakatan Harapan (PH). Jefri argued that political struggles should be grounded in principles, sincerity, and the people's interests rather than merely power shifts or specific political concerns. According to him, joining Wawasan opens up new avenues for continuing the struggle that emphasizes unity among the ummah, societal cohesion, and defending the people's future. While parties can change, the promise Jefri made to the people remains a responsibility he must uphold. He vowed not to abandon the community that has been by his side, especially during times of need. Despite leaving Bersatu, Jefry emphasized that his commitment to approach the community and aid those in need, irrespective of their backgrounds, races, or political understanding, will remain steadfast. He stated that while he may leave Bersatu, he has never left the struggle for the people. His focus is not on the role or the party but rather on the importance of sincerity, trust, and responsibility towards the society.",
