  "account": "At a meeting in IPoh, 4,264 DAP representatives from 1,704 branches voted to continue being part of the unity government, a decision explained in a statement on Sunday. The Perak DAP reaffirmed its commitment to the Pakatan Harapan manifesto, including reforms in institutions, judicial independence, anti-corruption efforts, reducing living expenses, financial system modernization, and ensuring civil liberties for diverse communities. Despite facing various challenges, the party remains dedicated to fulfilling the people's mandate and continuing Malaysia's national agenda under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's leadership. The DAP's statement emphasized the importance of maintaining political strength in an inclusive and progressive society, and to prevent extreme forces from growing. With a history of four Prime Ministers changing in seven years, political instability has damaged the economy and investor confidence. The DAP cannot afford to disappoint the mandate given by the people, and it must fulfill its responsibility to continue being part of the unity government until the end of the term to restore people's confidence. This stance was made clear ahead of the 2026 DAP National Convention, which will determine the party's path of staying or leaving the federal government until the end of the current parliamentary term and beyond. Party members will vote in the upcoming election, and the result will be determined at the 4,264 representatives from 1,704 branches convening at the International Convention Centre in Putrajaya.",
