Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 86.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 13.7% between them.

    (41,562 + 14,174) ÷ 64,619 = 86.3% · 8,870 ÷ 64,619 = 13.7%

  2. Turnout of 52.1% was 25.2 pp below the state's median seat (77.3%).

    52.1 − 77.3 = −25.2

  3. Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay also won in 1998.
