Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 15.8% between them.

    (2,64,814 + 1,42,641) ÷ 5,15,939 = 79.0% · 81,584 ÷ 5,15,939 = 15.8%

  2. Turnout of 62.6% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.9%).

    62.6 − 60.9 = +1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 29.8 pp in 1996 to 23.7 pp.

    23.7 − 29.8 = −6.1 pp

  4. Dileep Sanghani also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
