Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.9% of votes; the other 8 candidates 1.0% between them.

    (1,78,597 + 1,57,532) ÷ 3,43,299 = 97.9% · 3,469 ÷ 3,43,299 = 1.0%

  2. Turnout of 48.4% was 11.2 pp below the state's median seat (59.6%).

    48.4 − 59.6 = −11.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 7.4 pp in 1996 to 6.1 pp.

    6.1 − 7.4 = −1.3 pp

  4. Jayawantiben Mehta, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
