Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 5,666 votes, 1.6× the 3,463-vote margin.

    5,666 ÷ 3,463 = 1.6

  2. The top two polled 94.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (90,190 + 86,727) ÷ 1,87,703 = 94.3% · 10,758 ÷ 1,87,703 = 5.7%

  3. Turnout of 72.3% was 5.0 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    72.3 − 77.3 = −5.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.5 pp in 1996 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 4.5 = −2.7 pp

  5. Kumkum Chakraborti, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
