[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,653 votes, 1.2× the 5,504-vote margin.

    6,653 ÷ 5,504 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 89.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 9.7% between them.

    (58,383 + 52,879) ÷ 1,24,731 = 89.2% · 12,066 ÷ 1,24,731 = 9.7%

  3. Turnout of 84.7% was 10.3 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    84.7 − 74.4 = +10.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 7.5 pp in 1990 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 7.5 = −3.1 pp

  5. Raghunath Mohanty also won in 1990.

    1990 winner name = 1995 winner name
