  "account": "Barisan Nasional's (BN) Deputy Leader, Zahid Hamidi, has announced that the coalition will seek to include Perikatan Nasional (PN) representatives in the Melaka State Legislative Council (MMKN) if they succeed in winning the state election on November 14.\n\nZahid, while speaking to reporters following his attendance at the Deepavali 2026 Santun Meeting, said that BN and PN have signed a memorandum of understanding to mobilize voters and support the agreed-upon candidate. However, he did not rule out the possibility of issues surfacing at the grassroots level due to the ongoing negotiation process between the two parties.\n\nThe 16th Melaka PRN election features 79 candidates competing for 28 DUN seats. The voting day has been scheduled for November 14, while the nomination day for candidates took place on October 31. Zahid also indicated that the BN and PN leaders will descend to the Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) level to ensure coordination and refine the cooperative efforts across localities, polling centers, and DUN.",
