Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.5% of votes; the other 1 candidate 2.7% between them.

    (10,894 + 10,205) ÷ 22,098 = 95.5% · 590 ÷ 22,098 = 2.7%

  2. Turnout of 86.9% was 5.3 pp above the state's median seat (81.6%).

    86.9 − 81.6 = +5.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.2 pp in 1993 to 3.1 pp.

    3.1 − 14.2 = −11.1 pp

  4. Subal Rudra also won in 1993.

    1993 winner name = 1998 winner name
