  "account": "The Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman, Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, has suggested that the PRN election in Melaka may be held within the next two months. In his address during a PAS Melaka fundraiser event, Samsuri urged PRN election officials in Melaka to commence preparations immediately and utilize the remaining time. He mentioned that the time frame available, which is less than two months until the election date, is likely to be around two months. Samsuri stated that the campaign period needs to be based on the assumption that they have a maximum of 60 days. He clarified that the two months are mentioned without providing the reason, and the movement of the election campaign should depend on an 60-day maximum time frame. Samsuri called for disciplined campaigns to change the political landscape in Melaka, including in areas considered challenging for PN. He also urged PAS and PN to present themselves to voters as the government-in-waiting, emphasizing that PAS, along with PN allies, must be seen as ready to govern and to be the government in Melaka. Samsuri opened the door to political cooperation without naming any party and indicated potential for a new form of cooperation. He expressed the hope that together they could take Melaka forward in a new form of cooperation that has not been seen before. Samsuri noted that various things could happen in politics when BN is considering the possibility of a raya-cooperation with PN or Pakatan Harapan leading up to PRN. He reiterated that PN is for all Melaka voters, mentioning the Malay, Chinese, Indian, Portuguese, and Baba Nyonya communities. Samsuri emphasized that the party represents the entire populace of Melaka, comprising various groups and factions, and pledged to ensure the fair treatment of all groups if PN were to govern Melaka. The BN won 21 out of 28 DUN seats in Melaka during the 2021 election, while PH secured five seats and PN two. The DUN Malaya election cycle ends on Dec 30, unless dissolved earlier, according to the report. The election must take place within 60 days following the dissolution, unless dissolved earlier, according to the report.",
