  "account": "Zahid Hamidi, the President of Barisan Nasional (BN), has urged all parties to forget political disputes and unite for the benefit of the people. Following the victory of the combined alliance with Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the Melaka PRN election, he called for nationwide cooperation, regardless of political backgrounds, for the common good. \"Let us forget the past, unite without regard to political backgrounds,\" he said at a media briefing. BN and PN had secured a win in the Melaka PRN election, with unofficial results showing both alliances controlling 24 out of 28 parliamentary seats, gaining a two-thirds majority to form the state government. This victory builds upon BN's success in the PRN Johor election in July and the BN-PN cooperation in the PRN Negeri Sembilan election on August 1. Zahid hopes the win will inspire BN to strengthen its leadership and party unity as it faces upcoming political challenges. \"I hope this victory becomes a source of inspiration for the Barisan Nasional to continue strengthening our core, overcoming opposition challenges, and fiercely advocating for the people's interests,\" he added. He also expressed his gratitude towards PN, whom he views as a new strategic ally for BN, and expressed hope that this wave of change would continue across the nation.",
