[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,924 votes, 1.3× the 17,735-vote margin.

    22,924 ÷ 17,735 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 67.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 31.5% between them.

    (49,137 + 31,402) ÷ 1,19,272 = 67.5% · 37,545 ÷ 1,19,272 = 31.5%

  3. Turnout of 67.9% was 8.7 pp above the state's median seat (59.2%).

    67.9 − 59.2 = +8.7

  4. The margin widened from 2.0 pp in 1995 to 14.9 pp.

    14.9 − 2.0 = +12.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1995, CPI(M) in 2000.
