Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.8% of votes; the other 13 candidates 18.7% between them.

    (65,426 + 48,953) ÷ 1,43,258 = 79.8% · 26,724 ÷ 1,43,258 = 18.7%

  2. Turnout of 73.6% was 0.8 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    73.6 − 74.4 = −0.8

  3. The margin narrowed from 77.8 pp in 1990 to 11.5 pp.

    11.5 − 77.8 = −66.3 pp

  4. Arun Dey also won in 1990.
