Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,298 votes, 2.5× the 2,541-vote margin.

    6,298 ÷ 2,541 = 2.5

  2. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 5.3% between them.

    (85,647 + 83,106) ÷ 1,78,224 = 94.7% · 9,369 ÷ 1,78,224 = 5.3%

  3. Turnout of 77.9% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    77.9 − 77.3 = +0.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.4 pp in 1996 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 4.4 = −3.0 pp

  5. RSP held the seat it won in 1996.
