  "account": "Kedah Umno leader Mahdzir Khalid has stated that a meeting with PAS Kedah chief Sanusi Nor is necessary before in-depth discussions between the two parties in Kedah. This initial encounter is to pave the way for further talks regarding cooperation between the two parties in the lead-up to the 16th General Election (PRU16), according to Mahdzir. He emphasized that meeting Sanusi Nor should come first, followed by discussions with PAS' state advisor. The Kedah Executive Committee of Umno recently agreed to discuss potential cooperation with PAS at the state level before the upcoming elections. Setiausaha Agung Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki stressed that these discussions must be based on sincerity and trust, rather than votes and campaigning. The developments come as Umno and PAS relations resurface as a focus for political cooperation, with BN and PN controlling 25 out of 36 seats in Negeri Sembilan. This win also suggests that future cooperation could extend to other elections, including the upcoming PRN Melaka.",
