Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed ICS polled 29,687 votes, 55× the 544-vote margin.

    29,687 ÷ 544 = 54.6

  2. The top two polled 71.4% of votes; the other 4 candidates 28.6% between them.

    (52,365 + 51,821) ÷ 1,45,836 = 71.4% · 41,650 ÷ 1,45,836 = 28.6%

  3. Turnout of 62.9% matched the state's median seat.

    62.9 − 62.9 = 0.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 34.0 pp in 1996 to 0.4 pp.

    0.4 − 34.0 = −33.6 pp

  5. Manoranjan Bhakta also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
