Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 4.5% between them.

    (4,93,638 + 3,99,129) ÷ 9,46,682 = 94.3% · 42,971 ÷ 9,46,682 = 4.5%

  2. Turnout of 53.7% matched the state's median seat.

    53.7 − 53.7 = 0.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.3 pp in 1998 to 10.0 pp.

    10.0 − 18.3 = −8.3 pp

  4. INC held the seat it won in 1998.
