[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 11,017 votes, 1.3× the 8,629-vote margin.

    11,017 ÷ 8,629 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 74.0% of votes; the other 7 candidates 21.9% between them.

    (24,802 + 16,173) ÷ 55,337 = 74.0% · 12,112 ÷ 55,337 = 21.9%

  3. Turnout of 63.9% was 3.9 pp below the state's median seat (67.8%).

    63.9 − 67.8 = −3.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.5 pp in 1980 to 15.6 pp.

    15.6 − 22.5 = −6.9 pp

  5. Om Parkash Gupta also won in 1980.
