  "account": "Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal, the BN-PN spokesperson for Negeri Sembilan, predicts that the 'tsunami biru' – a blue wave of support for the BN-PN coalition – could sweep Malaysia in the 2026 general election. Speaking to BFM recently, he emphasized the need to increase cooperation between BN and PN in the lead-up to the election. The BN-PN alliance won 25 out of 36 DUN seats in Negeri Sembilan in the 2021 election, with BN securing 18 seats and PN obtaining seven. PH claimed the remaining 11 seats. Fayhsal believes that the 'tsunami biru' will materialize, as voters are dissatisfied with PAS and are increasingly turning to BN-PN. He noted that the increased confidence among supporters of various ethnicities has been sparked by the BN-PN collaboration. Fayhsal's party, Wawasan, gained three seats out of four in its first election under the PN banner, while Bersatu failed to win any. Despite the failure of Bersatu, Fayhsal stated that he believes the party's prospects will continue to improve following their participation as a multi-ethnic party. When asked about the future of Bersatu, which he previously contested as its chairman and PEMuda leader, Fayhsal acknowledged that the party's demise would be like the end of a fish's life. He admitted that implementing the BN-PN model in other states would require discussions among the highest-ranking leaders, but he is confident that these talks will proceed smoothly for everyone in the country.",
