  "account": "Pahang Umno vice-president Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail is confident that the Barisan Nasional (BN) can secure a win in the upcoming Pahang state election, regardless of whether Barisan Nasional (BN) teams up with Pakatan Harapan (PH) or Perikatan Nasional (PN) or decides to contest the election independently. Wan Rosdy, citing three studies, posits BN could emerge victorious if it aligns with PN. However, he warns that partnering with PH could lead to a loss of 15% of Malay votes, while going solo could still yield a win, albeit with a significant level of risk.\n\nWan Rosdy, also serving as Pahang's Menteri Besar, reiterated his commitment to retaining Pahang as a stronghold for Umno and BN. He emphasized that Pahang remains the only state where Umno's uninterrupted governance has persisted. In the 2022 general election, BN and PN each secured 17 state seats, while PH won eight. Following the election, BN joined forces with PH to form the Pahang government, with Wan Rosdy assuming the role of Menteri Besar for his second term. Wan Rosdy previously indicated that the current BN-PH administration in Pahang should persist until the next general election.",
  "summary": "Joining forces with PN will lead to a comfortable win, but an alliance with PH would result in a loss of 15% of the Malay votes, says the Umno vice-president.",
