Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.2% of votes; the other 10 candidates 5.9% between them.

    (3,20,141 + 2,88,688) ÷ 6,75,110 = 90.2% · 39,801 ÷ 6,75,110 = 5.9%

  2. Turnout of 63.4% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (57.7%).

    63.4 − 57.7 = +5.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.3 pp in 1996 to 4.7 pp.

    4.7 − 26.3 = −21.6 pp

  4. Venkatraman G., the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
