Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 6 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (3,00,299 + 2,58,869) ÷ 5,99,903 = 93.2% · 34,290 ÷ 5,99,903 = 5.7%

  2. Turnout of 63.7% was 12.5 pp above the state's median seat (51.2%).

    63.7 − 51.2 = +12.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 15.4 pp in 1989 to 6.9 pp.

    6.9 − 15.4 = −8.5 pp

  4. Rabi Ray also won in 1989.

    1989 winner name = 1991 winner name
