  "account": "Hamzah Zainudin, the President of Parti Wawasan Negara (Wawasan), urged Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Barisan Nasional (BN) to engage in dialogue regarding the division of seats to continue the \"blue wave\" trend, particularly in the run-up to the Melaka PRN election. Both parties must be open to taking turns in discussions, he emphasized during a media briefing after the Wawasan Special General Meeting (EGM).\n\nZahid Hamidi, the head of BN, had previously expressed hope that the alliance would maintain all 21 Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) seats in Melaka. However, Hamzah pointed out that there was no set date for the formal dialogue, but all parties must consider the greater good, not just Melaka, and also take into account other states that will face elections. \"Our bigger agenda is the people's interest. We don't want to change our approach after campaigning with various promises once we win and take power,\" he added.\n\nWawasan is also open to accepting the participation of individuals from other parties, as long as they can contribute to the party's strength. This statement was made when asked about the potential removal of Terengganu President Razali Idris. \"We have announced that anyone who wishes to join Wawasan is welcome. If someone wants to join the party and can contribute to its strength, we will accept them,\" Hamzah stated.",
