Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BNP polled 45,597 votes, 126× the 361-vote margin.

    45,597 ÷ 361 = 126.3

  2. The top two polled 88.1% of votes; the other 2 candidates 12.0% between them.

    (2,28,154 + 2,27,793) ÷ 5,17,809 = 88.1% · 61,898 ÷ 5,17,809 = 12.0%

  3. Turnout of 42.7% was 4.0 pp below the state's median seat (46.7%).

    42.7 − 46.7 = −4.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.6 pp in 1999 to 0.1 pp.

    0.1 − 2.6 = −2.5 pp

  5. Katara Babubhai Khimabhai also won in 1999.

    1999 winner name = 2004 winner name
