  "account": "Zahid Hamidi has stated that Umno plans to initiate formal discussions regarding the potential collaboration with any party for PRN Melaka following the dissolution of the DUN. The president of Umno revealed that the matter has been handed over to the Chief Minister of Melaka, Ab Rauf Yusoh, for leading the conversation after the dissolution of the DUN. Zahid Hamidi said that while informal discussions may already be happening, the formal dialogue would commence post-DUN. The deputy prime minister commented on this when asked about Umno's intention to cooperate with Perikatan Nasional (PN) for the upcoming PRN Melaka. Zahid mentioned that he had previously engaged in discussions with the entire Umno Melaka Political Office, outlining the party's preparations for the upcoming state elections. These announcements were also brought to the highest level, i.e., Umno's Central Working Committee (MKT), to discuss the detailed strategy derived from Umno Melaka's war room.",
