Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed SP polled 1,65,544 votes, 6.2× the 26,743-vote margin.

    1,65,544 ÷ 26,743 = 6.2

  2. The top two polled 64.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 35.1% between them.

    (2,61,530 + 2,34,787) ÷ 7,64,878 = 64.9% · 2,68,561 ÷ 7,64,878 = 35.1%

  3. Turnout of 53.9% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (54.5%).

    53.9 − 54.5 = −0.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 11.6 pp in 1996 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 11.6 = −8.1 pp

  5. Ram Shakal also won in 1996.

    1996 winner name = 1998 winner name
