Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 1,72,301 votes, 1.9× the 90,240-vote margin.

    1,72,301 ÷ 90,240 = 1.9

  2. The top two polled 73.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 26.6% between them.

    (2,86,953 + 1,96,713) ÷ 6,58,569 = 73.4% · 1,74,903 ÷ 6,58,569 = 26.6%

  3. Turnout of 73.4% was 8.7 pp above the state's median seat (64.7%).

    73.4 − 64.7 = +8.7

  4. The margin widened from 4.7 pp in 1996 to 13.7 pp.

    13.7 − 4.7 = +9.0 pp

  5. K.S.R.Murthy, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
