Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 79.3% of votes; the other 4 candidates 18.6% between them.

    (3,26,395 + 1,73,881) ÷ 6,30,650 = 79.3% · 1,17,302 ÷ 6,30,650 = 18.6%

  2. Turnout of 52.6% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (56.9%).

    52.6 − 56.9 = −4.3

  3. The margin widened from 18.5 pp in 1998 to 24.2 pp.

    24.2 − 18.5 = +5.7 pp

  4. Jual Oram also won in 1998.
