Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.8% between them.

    (29,589 + 26,280) ÷ 60,154 = 92.9% · 3,469 ÷ 60,154 = 5.8%

  2. Turnout of 53.4% was 3.4 pp above the state's median seat (50.0%).

    53.4 − 50.0 = +3.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 14.6 pp in 1993 to 5.5 pp.

    5.5 − 14.6 = −9.1 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 1993.
