  "account": "The vice president of Bersatu, Ahmad Faizal Azumu, has stated that the party needs a merger to strengthen its position and differentiate itself from Perikatan Nasional (PN). In an interview with Utusan Malaysia, Azumu acknowledged that his party requires a union, as without it, it would be challenging to advance independently. He emphasized that the strength of individual factions in Melaka alone is insufficient for the party to act on its own. However, Azumu declined to specify whether the proposed merger would be with PN or another entity, expressing that the matter is not yet decided by party leadership. They plan to make a final decision soon. Regarding the use of a flower emblem in the PRN, Azumu mentioned that the issue is still under consideration by the party leadership. Currently, they are evaluating the party's strength in all regions, and he himself has conducted an audit or survey of all areas in Melaka.",
