Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 8,587 votes, 11× the 812-vote margin.

    8,587 ÷ 812 = 10.6

  2. The top two polled 88.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 9.1% between them.

    (56,614 + 55,802) ÷ 1,27,281 = 88.3% · 11,627 ÷ 1,27,281 = 9.1%

  3. Turnout of 77.7% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    77.7 − 74.4 = +3.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 61.4 pp in 1990 to 0.6 pp.

    0.6 − 61.4 = −60.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD in 1990, INC in 1995.
