Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 9 candidates 7.7% between them.

    (2,87,907 + 2,44,214) ÷ 5,86,457 = 90.7% · 44,956 ÷ 5,86,457 = 7.7%

  2. Turnout of 59.4% was 8.2 pp above the state's median seat (51.2%).

    59.4 − 51.2 = +8.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 31.2 pp in 1989 to 7.5 pp.

    7.5 − 31.2 = −23.7 pp

  4. Srikanta Jena also won in 1989.

    1989 winner name = 1991 winner name
