Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 23,858 votes, 7.8× the 3,057-vote margin.

    23,858 ÷ 3,057 = 7.8

  2. The top two polled 59.7% of votes; the other 7 candidates 36.9% between them.

    (33,223 + 30,166) ÷ 1,06,118 = 59.7% · 39,164 ÷ 1,06,118 = 36.9%

  3. Turnout of 69.3% was 5.1 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    69.3 − 74.4 = −5.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 33.9 pp in 1990 to 2.9 pp.

    2.9 − 33.9 = −31.0 pp

  5. Prasanna Kumar Panda also won in 1990.
