Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.8% between them.

    (72,425 + 60,209) ÷ 1,37,983 = 96.1% · 5,307 ÷ 1,37,983 = 3.8%

  2. Turnout of 75.3% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    75.3 − 77.3 = −2.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 9.7 pp in 1996 to 8.9 pp.

    8.9 − 9.7 = −0.8 pp

  4. Mursalin Molla also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
