  "account": "Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, PN and PAS central election director, expressed hope that the BN-PN cooperation would continue into the 16th General Election, following their successful performance in the Melaka state election. The BN won 21 out of the 28 state seats, while PN secured three seats, giving them a combined majority of more than two-thirds in the Melaka state assembly. The results indicated a majority assessment by voters of the current political landscape. Sanusi, who is also Kedah Menteri Besar, attributed his limited campaigning efforts to the focus required on the detailed Kedah 2027 Budget presentation, acknowledging the extensive help received from others in the campaign.",
