Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,301 votes, 1.3× the 4,770-vote margin.

    6,301 ÷ 4,770 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 1 candidate 4.5% between them.

    (69,047 + 64,277) ÷ 1,39,688 = 95.4% · 6,301 ÷ 1,39,688 = 4.5%

  3. Turnout of 80.7% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    80.7 − 77.3 = +3.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.8 pp in 1996 to 3.4 pp.

    3.4 − 5.8 = −2.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 1996, AITC in 2001.
