Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 27,533 votes, 5.7× the 4,858-vote margin.

    27,533 ÷ 4,858 = 5.7

  2. The top two polled 59.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 35.5% between them.

    (33,878 + 29,020) ÷ 1,05,025 = 59.9% · 37,277 ÷ 1,05,025 = 35.5%

  3. Turnout of 69.9% was 4.5 pp below the state's median seat (74.4%).

    69.9 − 74.4 = −4.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 32.8 pp in 1990 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 32.8 = −28.2 pp

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