  "account": "Zahid Hamidi, the chairman of Barisan Nasional (BN), has called for all parties to forget past political disputes and unite for the benefit of the people. The BN-PN coalition secured victory in the Melaka PRN (State Election) after unofficial results indicated that both alliances controlled 24 out of 28 DUN (Dewan Undangan Negeri) seats, with a majority of over two-thirds to form the state government. The win continues BN's winning streak in recent PRN elections, following victories in Johor in July and Negeri Sembilan in August. Zahid expressed hope that the victory would serve as a morale booster for BN to strengthen its leadership and party cohesion in tackling future political challenges. He also acknowledged the appreciation for PN, now recognized as a new strategic ally to BN, and expressed the hope that the \"blue wave\" of unity would continue to spread across the nation.",
  "summary": "Pengerusi BN berharap penyatuan rakyat termasuk mereka yang berbeza fahaman politik, demi kepentingan bersama.",
