Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 5.0% between them.

    (54,675 + 46,922) ÷ 1,06,943 = 95.0% · 5,341 ÷ 1,06,943 = 5.0%

  2. Turnout of 75.7% was 3.0 pp above the state's median seat (72.7%).

    75.7 − 72.7 = +3.0

  3. The margin widened from 1.2 pp in 1998 to 7.2 pp.

    7.2 − 1.2 = +6.0 pp

  4. P Narayanan also won in 1998.
