Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 12,189 votes, 8.8× the 1,383-vote margin.

    12,189 ÷ 1,383 = 8.8

  2. The top two polled 72.2% of votes; the other 11 candidates 27.0% between them.

    (21,150 + 19,767) ÷ 56,692 = 72.2% · 15,291 ÷ 56,692 = 27.0%

  3. Turnout of 45.0% was 5.0 pp below the state's median seat (50.0%).

    45.0 − 50.0 = −5.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 3.2 pp in 1993 to 2.4 pp.

    2.4 − 3.2 = −0.8 pp

  5. Puran Chand Yogi also won in 1993.
