  "summary": "Umno delegates arrived in Kuala Lumpur for the party's annual assembly with an upbeat mood following their recent victories in the Johor and Negeri Sembilan state elections. The coalition secured 48 of the 56 seats in Johor and 18 of the 36 seats in Negeri Sembilan, with Umno winning all 16 seats it contested in the latter. The positive atmosphere was evident, with delegates turning up in large numbers for briefings ahead of the official opening of the 2026 Umno General Assembly. Umno Youth Damansara committee member Muhammad Najeeh Norazam stated that the party's morale was energised due to the back-to-back wins, and they are now looking forward to the next electoral challenge, particularly in Melaka.",
