Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.4% of votes; the other 9 candidates 7.9% between them.

    (2,92,817 + 2,14,020) ÷ 5,54,825 = 91.4% · 43,597 ÷ 5,54,825 = 7.9%

  2. Turnout of 58.2% was 9.5 pp below the state's median seat (67.7%).

    58.2 − 67.7 = −9.5

  3. The margin widened from 2.4 pp in 1984 to 14.2 pp.

    14.2 − 2.4 = +11.8 pp

  4. N.Dennis also won in 1984.

    1984 winner name = 1989 winner name
