  "account": "Wawasan president Hamzah Zainudin is confident that the Barisan Nasional-Perikatan Nasional alliance will secure a landslide victory in the upcoming Melaka state election, reminiscent of the strong performance the pact achieved in the Negeri Sembilan polls. The BN and PN both experienced the benefits of unity when they combined forces, resulting in a two-thirds majority of seats in Negeri Sembilan. Hamzah expressed his optimism, acknowledging that the current moment of unity they have been striving for will yield fruitful results in the Melaka election. He strongly emphasized the importance of hard work and dedication, stating that Wawasan has served as the bridge between Umno and PAS, and now, they are moving forward together. The BN is contesting 23 seats in Melaka, while PN aims to win the remaining five. Although Pakatan Harapan has also formed an alliance with Bersatu, which remains a member of PN, they are in competition for three seats. With a total of 687,697 eligible voters in Melaka, early voting will be held on November 10, followed by the general election on November 14.",
