Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BPP polled 86,418 votes, 1.2× the 73,883-vote margin.

    86,418 ÷ 73,883 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 79.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 20.1% between them.

    (3,03,243 + 2,29,360) ÷ 6,66,384 = 79.9% · 1,33,795 ÷ 6,66,384 = 20.1%

  3. Turnout of 54.9% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (57.6%).

    54.9 − 57.6 = −2.7

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 1999 to 11.1 pp.

    11.1 − 0.4 = +10.7 pp

  5. RJD held the seat it won in 1999.
