Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 3.9% between them.

    (3,83,060 + 2,51,315) ÷ 6,66,936 = 95.1% · 26,304 ÷ 6,66,936 = 3.9%

  2. Turnout of 56.7% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (56.9%).

    56.7 − 56.9 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 1998 to 19.8 pp.

    19.8 − 7.5 = +12.3 pp

  4. Braja Kishore Tripathy also won in 1998.
