Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 2.5% between them.

    (33,639 + 25,543) ÷ 61,133 = 96.8% · 1,555 ÷ 61,133 = 2.5%

  2. Turnout of 51.9% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    51.9 − 50.0 = +1.9

  3. The margin widened from 8.5 pp in 1993 to 13.2 pp.

    13.2 − 8.5 = +4.7 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: BJP in 1993, INC in 1998.
