Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed JD polled 1,86,992 votes, 2.9× the 63,738-vote margin.

    1,86,992 ÷ 63,738 = 2.9

  2. The top two polled 68.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 28.5% between them.

    (2,84,909 + 2,21,171) ÷ 7,38,610 = 68.5% · 2,10,496 ÷ 7,38,610 = 28.5%

  3. Turnout of 62.6% was 4.6 pp below the state's median seat (67.2%).

    62.6 − 67.2 = −4.6

  4. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 1996 to 8.6 pp.

    8.6 − 0.7 = +7.9 pp

  5. K.C.Kondaiah also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
