Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 15.2% between them.

    (3,69,832 + 2,45,514) ÷ 7,24,790 = 84.9% · 1,09,852 ÷ 7,24,790 = 15.2%

  2. Turnout of 66.4% was 13.0 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    66.4 − 79.4 = −13.0

  3. The margin widened from 4.6 pp in 1999 to 17.2 pp.

    17.2 − 4.6 = +12.6 pp

  4. Bikash Chowdhury also won in 1999.
