Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (3,93,561 + 2,95,132) ÷ 7,70,828 = 89.3% · 84,049 ÷ 7,70,828 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 70.3% was 9.1 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    70.3 − 79.4 = −9.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.6 pp in 1999 to 12.8 pp.

    12.8 − 26.6 = −13.8 pp

  4. Mamata Banerjee also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
