Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,17,926 votes, 10× the 11,664-vote margin.

    1,17,926 ÷ 11,664 = 10.1

  2. The top two polled 79.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 20.7% between them.

    (3,63,747 + 3,52,083) ÷ 9,02,496 = 79.3% · 1,86,666 ÷ 9,02,496 = 20.7%

  3. Turnout of 73.4% was 8.7 pp above the state's median seat (64.7%).

    73.4 − 64.7 = +8.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.2 pp in 1996 to 1.3 pp.

    1.3 − 7.2 = −5.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1996, INC in 1998.
