Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 84.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 16.0% between them.

    (50,618 + 15,302) ÷ 78,428 = 84.1% · 12,524 ÷ 78,428 = 16.0%

  2. Turnout of 61.9% was 11.9 pp below the state's median seat (73.8%).

    61.9 − 73.8 = −11.9

  3. The margin widened from 8.7 pp in 2000 to 45.0 pp.

    45.0 − 8.7 = +36.3 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2000, INC in 2005.
