Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.5% between them.

    (69,015 + 49,766) ÷ 1,26,843 = 93.6% · 8,204 ÷ 1,26,843 = 6.5%

  2. Turnout of 63.2% was 4.7 pp below the state's median seat (67.9%).

    63.2 − 67.9 = −4.7

  3. The margin widened from 5.3 pp in 1999 to 15.2 pp.

    15.2 − 5.3 = +9.9 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: INC in 1999, BJP in 2004.
