Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 3,105 votes, 13× the 236-vote margin.
3,105 ÷ 236 = 13.2
The top two polled 69.6% of votes; the other 3 candidates 30.4% between them.
(3,745 + 3,509) ÷ 10,425 = 69.6% · 3,170 ÷ 10,425 = 30.4%
Turnout of 78.9% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (80.6%).
78.9 − 80.6 = −1.7
The margin narrowed from 10.9 pp in 1998 to 2.3 pp.
2.3 − 10.9 = −8.6 pp
Lalthankunga, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2003.
1998 winner name = 2003 runner-up name
