  "account": "Melaka: Pakatan Harapan (PH) is open to exploring new political cooperation after the Melaka election, but only after the PH Presidential Council has discussed the matter. Acting PKR chairman Adam Adli Abd Halim stated that decisions on political cooperation must first be vetted by the Presidential Council before becoming the coalition's official stance. Adli acknowledged recent political developments, including emerging alignments, but emphasized that PH would not regard these as official positions until they were officially decided. PH's current priority is to secure victories for its candidates ahead of the election.",
