  "account": "Bersatu deputy chief Azmin Ali envisioned increased openness in understanding between his party and Pakatan Harapan (PH) during the recent PRN Melaka campaign, while emphasizing the need for Bersatu not to operate alone. He acknowledged that such a possibility might only be considered if both parties believed it to be the best strategy, even though there has been no official statement on their cooperation in Melaka so far. Azmin also recognized that, in a broader context, Bersatu cannot function independently and must collaborate to ensure stability. We cannot predict what will happen at the end of the campaigning period, but in many elections, voters typically make their decision by the time the campaign concludes, after weighing the manifestos or candidates' proposals. At that point, he believed they already have a clear view, but the political party usually uses this opportunity to project a more positive perception. Those are the tactics that appear to be the best at the moment. Currently, every Bersatu candidate and member is actively campaigning in their respective constituencies and localities, he told Berita Harian. In PRN Melaka, Bersatu contested seven seats: Lendu, Sungai Udang, Pantai Kundor, Kelebang, Pengkalan Batu, Ayer Keroh, and Bemban. Meanwhile, Azmin stated that although Bersatu does not form any coalition in Melaka, they still have understanding before determining how many seats they wish to contest. In this context, Bersatu also decided that they cannot operate alone; they must engage in political cooperation or a coalition that can guarantee stability for the state and the nation. For PRN Melaka, they have not joined or have any such coalition with any party, but it is certain that they have understanding for determining contested seats, he said.",
