Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 4.9% between them.

    (50,780 + 38,505) ÷ 93,865 = 95.1% · 4,560 ÷ 93,865 = 4.9%

  2. Turnout of 63.3% was 9.4 pp below the state's median seat (72.7%).

    63.3 − 72.7 = −9.4

  3. The margin widened from 6.7 pp in 1996 to 13.1 pp.

    13.1 − 6.7 = +6.4 pp

  4. Babu Divakaran also won in 1996.
