Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.0% of votes; the other 16 candidates 7.8% between them.

    (1,32,488 + 1,01,194) ÷ 2,54,049 = 92.0% · 19,816 ÷ 2,54,049 = 7.8%

  2. Turnout of 60.1% was 8.4 pp below the state's median seat (68.5%).

    60.1 − 68.5 = −8.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.5 pp in 1998 to 12.3 pp.

    12.3 − 26.5 = −14.2 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1998, BJP in 2003.
