So...from the list above, there are 26 parliamentary seats in Johor. Only 1 is currently held by DAP, while the rest goes to BN. Based on the tsunami factors alone, the prediction is gonna be that 8 of the Parliamentary seats would fall to the opposition next GE, while BN will only retain 18 of seats. But mind you, this is only a prediction. Anything can happen between now and the next General Elections. So, brace yourself for turbulent times ahead.

Current score in Johor: BN 25 - 1 PR
Prediction score in Johor: BN 18 - 8 PR

I will continue with voting patterns (Part 2) when I can find the time.
