Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed NTRTDP(LP) polled 1,21,615 votes, 2.0× the 59,440-vote margin.

    1,21,615 ÷ 59,440 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 69.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 30.6% between them.

    (2,63,141 + 2,03,701) ÷ 6,72,943 = 69.4% · 2,06,101 ÷ 6,72,943 = 30.6%

  3. Turnout of 61.6% was 3.1 pp below the state's median seat (64.7%).

    61.6 − 64.7 = −3.1

  4. The margin widened from 4.2 pp in 1996 to 8.8 pp.

    8.8 − 4.2 = +4.6 pp

  5. CPI held the seat it won in 1996.
