Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 53.4% of votes; the other 8 candidates 45.3% between them.

    (27,098 + 13,994) ÷ 76,925 = 53.4% · 34,821 ÷ 76,925 = 45.3%

  2. Turnout of 81.7% was 5.5 pp above the state's median seat (76.2%).

    81.7 − 76.2 = +5.5

  3. The margin widened from 7.8 pp in 1996 to 17.0 pp.

    17.0 − 7.8 = +9.2 pp

  4. Abu Bakkar Siddique Jotdar, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
