Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.4% of votes; the other 3 candidates 3.2% between them.

    (3,98,597 + 2,71,634) ÷ 7,02,356 = 95.4% · 22,206 ÷ 7,02,356 = 3.2%

  2. Turnout of 59.0% was 2.1 pp above the state's median seat (56.9%).

    59.0 − 56.9 = +2.1

  3. The margin widened from 3.6 pp in 1998 to 18.1 pp.

    18.1 − 3.6 = +14.5 pp

  4. Prasanna Acharya also won in 1998.

    1998 winner name = 1999 winner name
