Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 98.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 2.0% between them.

    (92,876 + 32,423) ÷ 1,27,892 = 98.0% · 2,571 ÷ 1,27,892 = 2.0%

  2. Turnout of 78.2% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    78.2 − 77.3 = +0.9

  3. The margin widened from 14.0 pp in 1996 to 47.3 pp.

    47.3 − 14.0 = +33.3 pp

  4. Kanika Ganguly also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
