  "account": "Bersatu plans to reveal its candidate list for the Melaka election on October 29, coinciding with Perikatan Nasional's announcement, amid a disagreement between the two parties. However, Bersatu's president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has remained silent on whether the party will run independently or form an electoral pact with other parties or coalitions, including a potential collaboration with Pakatan Harapan for the upcoming November 14 state election. He also refrained from disclosing the number of state seats Bersatu intends to contest. Muhyiddin confirmed that the Bersatu Supreme Council has agreed to participate in the state polls, though a few outstanding issues need to be resolved within a day or two. The party will discuss its Sarawak election plans later, as there is still time.",
