[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 1,40,913 votes, 1.1× the 1,31,798-vote margin.

    1,40,913 ÷ 1,31,798 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 70.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 27.9% between them.

    (3,28,982 + 1,97,184) ÷ 7,51,734 = 70.0% · 2,09,542 ÷ 7,51,734 = 27.9%

  3. Turnout of 59.0% was 8.2 pp below the state's median seat (67.2%).

    59.0 − 67.2 = −8.2

  4. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 1996 to 17.5 pp.

    17.5 − 2.7 = +14.8 pp

  5. Qamarul Islam, the 1996 winner, finished second in 1998.

    1996 winner name = 1998 runner-up name
