Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed MLKSC polled 6,197 votes, 3.6× the 1,716-vote margin.

    6,197 ÷ 1,716 = 3.6

  2. The top two polled 86.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 13.8% between them.

    (51,285 + 49,569) ÷ 1,16,964 = 86.2% · 16,110 ÷ 1,16,964 = 13.8%

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

    77.8 − 77.3 = +0.5

  4. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 1996 to 1.5 pp.

    1.5 − 0.7 = +0.8 pp

  5. Abu Sufian Sarkar, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
