Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.1% between them.

    (60,363 + 56,929) ÷ 1,22,276 = 95.9% · 4,956 ÷ 1,22,276 = 4.1%

  2. Turnout of 79.1% was 1.8 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    79.1 − 77.3 = +1.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.6 pp in 1996 to 2.8 pp.

    2.8 − 8.6 = −5.8 pp

  4. Pratyush Mukherjee also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 2001 winner name
