  "account": "Mustafa Musa, the Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for Durian Tunggal in the 2021 Melaka state election, expressed confidence that a united effort between Umno and PAS would bolster the party's majority victory. He attributed this belief to the spirit of national unity, cooperation between the two parties, and the leadership support that could attract more voters. Mustafa stated this after a walkabout with former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob in Durian Tunggal. As a first-time contestant, Mustafa emphasized that the support from BN's component parties and the 'Friends of BN' also contributed momentum to the campaign for retaining the seat. He credited Ismail's presence as a spark of inspiration to the multi-party coalition, along with advice to approach as many voters as possible. The joint effort with PAS would continue through a series of rallies and walkabouts. Mustafa will face off against Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Ashraf Mukhlis Minghat. In the 2021 PRN Melaka, the incumbent BN candidate, Zahari Abdul Khalil, won the Durian Tunggal seat with a 559-vote majority.",
