  "account": "Barisan Nasional (BN) has adopted a unifying approach to assist Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidates in Malaysian Parliamentary Election (PRN) Melaka. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, Deputy Chairman of Umno, stated that this alignment is in line with the shared understanding and political cooperation between BN and PN. Throughout the entire support and endorsement of BN and its allies, they will wholeheartedly assist all PN candidates contesting in the DUN seats during the PRN Melaka, he announced at a media briefing, following the Uppermost Council of Umno meeting. Earlier, BN had announced it would contest in 21 DUN seats and hand over PAS and their allies to seven seats. Today, BN and PN leaders signed a joint understanding to face PRN Melaka. Moreover, BN and PN agreed to launch a joint manifesto for PRN Melaka. The manifesto is expected to be launched later in the day after candidate nominations, said Asyraf.",
