Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 6,198 votes, 5.2× the 1,188-vote margin.

    6,198 ÷ 1,188 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 94.0% of votes; the other 3 candidates 6.0% between them.

    (58,602 + 57,414) ÷ 1,23,395 = 94.0% · 7,344 ÷ 1,23,395 = 6.0%

  3. Turnout of 75.3% was 2.6 pp above the state's median seat (72.7%).

    75.3 − 72.7 = +2.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 4.4 pp in 1996 to 1.0 pp.

    1.0 − 4.4 = −3.4 pp

  5. P P Thankachan, the 1996 winner, finished second in 2001.

    1996 winner name = 2001 runner-up name
