Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 16,955 votes, 6.0× the 2,812-vote margin.

    16,955 ÷ 2,812 = 6.0

  2. The top two polled 52.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 47.9% between them.

    (29,593 + 26,781) ÷ 1,07,911 = 52.2% · 51,738 ÷ 1,07,911 = 47.9%

  3. Turnout of 65.5% was 2.4 pp below the state's median seat (67.9%).

    65.5 − 67.9 = −2.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.6 pp in 1999 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 9.6 = −7.0 pp

  5. INC held the seat it won in 1999.
