Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 25,644 votes, 13× the 1,990-vote margin.

    25,644 ÷ 1,990 = 12.9

  2. The top two polled 66.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 31.9% between them.

    (35,933 + 33,943) ÷ 1,04,391 = 66.9% · 33,276 ÷ 1,04,391 = 31.9%

  3. Turnout of 73.9% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (70.2%).

    73.9 − 70.2 = +3.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 13.6 pp in 1992 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 13.6 = −11.7 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: INC in 1992, IND in 1997.

    1992 INC · 1997 IND
