Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 37,541 votes, 4.7× the 7,981-vote margin.

    37,541 ÷ 7,981 = 4.7

  2. The top two polled 84.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 14.5% between them.

    (2,14,429 + 2,06,448) ÷ 4,99,831 = 84.2% · 72,262 ÷ 4,99,831 = 14.5%

  3. Turnout of 49.2% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (51.2%).

    49.2 − 51.2 = −2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 25.1 pp in 1989 to 1.6 pp.

    1.6 − 25.1 = −23.5 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1989.
