  "account": "Melaka has the potential to serve as an example of success for cooperation between the Barisan Nasional (BN) and PAS parties, according to Rais Yasin, the Deputy Chief of Umno in Melaka. In a recent interview with FMT, Rais expressed confidence that both parties could enhance their base of voters and win more seats during the upcoming PRN 14 November election. The collaboration between BN and PN (Perikatan Nasional) has been formalized following a political understanding to face the upcoming election, with the support of both parties' cadres and voters. Both parties also agreed to provide a joint manifesto for the election. Rais, who is also the deputy chief of BN in Melaka, believes that the cooperation could help both parties secure a larger base of support, including in fiercely contested areas like Sungai Udang, which will be contested during the PRN 14 November election. However, Rais acknowledged that the current competition is challenging and BN cannot take the victory for granted. Rais, also the chief of Umno in Tangga Batu, is contesting the Sungai Udang seat after previously representing Paya Rumput. He is facing candidates from Bersatu Abdullah Mahadi and Ridzuan Rahman of Bersama in the three-cornered contest. During the 2021 PRN, BN won 21 out of 28 DUN seats in Melaka, while Pakatan Harapan (PH) secured five seats and PN took two.",
