Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 12.0% between them.

    (65,198 + 38,604) ÷ 1,18,039 = 87.9% · 14,144 ÷ 1,18,039 = 12.0%

  2. Turnout of 77.8% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    77.8 − 77.3 = +0.5

  3. The margin widened from 19.8 pp in 1996 to 22.5 pp.

    22.5 − 19.8 = +2.7 pp

  4. Jayanta Chowdhury also won in 1996.
