Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 77.0% of votes; the other 10 candidates 16.9% between them.

    (2,81,253 + 1,73,898) ÷ 5,91,297 = 77.0% · 99,809 ÷ 5,91,297 = 16.9%

  2. Turnout of 70.3% was 8.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.0%).

    70.3 − 79.0 = −8.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.0 pp in 1991 to 18.2 pp.

    18.2 − 26.0 = −7.8 pp

  4. Paban Singh Ghatowar also won in 1991.
