Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,49,820 votes, 2.9× the 51,292-vote margin.

    1,49,820 ÷ 51,292 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 59.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 40.6% between them.

    (2,23,624 + 1,72,332) ÷ 6,67,973 = 59.3% · 2,70,879 ÷ 6,67,973 = 40.6%

  3. Turnout of 62.0% was 7.2 pp below the state's median seat (69.2%).

    62.0 − 69.2 = −7.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 1999 to 7.7 pp.

    7.7 − 15.3 = −7.6 pp

  5. Bijoy Krishna Handique also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
