ANALYSIS Campaigning in the Galas and Batu Sapi by-elections stopped a few hours ago. In about 12 hours, the results will be known.

My prediction, which many of my friends have been asking me for, is that PAS will retain Galas with a majority of 370 votes while the BN will retain Batu Sapi with a majority of 1800 votes, with the SAPP trailing in second place and PKR not far behind.
