Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 12,607 votes, 8.0× the 1,581-vote margin.

    12,607 ÷ 1,581 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 84.8% of votes; the other 5 candidates 15.2% between them.

    (57,176 + 55,595) ÷ 1,32,996 = 84.8% · 20,157 ÷ 1,32,996 = 15.2%

  3. Turnout of 80.3% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (77.3%).

    80.3 − 77.3 = +3.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.5 pp in 1996 to 1.2 pp.

    1.2 − 8.5 = −7.3 pp

  5. CPI(M) held the seat it won in 1996.
