Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed JD(U) polled 8,698 votes, 33× the 267-vote margin.
8,698 ÷ 267 = 32.6
The top two polled 79.0% of votes; the other 19 candidates 20.1% between them.
(44,227 + 43,960) ÷ 1,11,696 = 79.0% · 22,506 ÷ 1,11,696 = 20.1%
Turnout of 60.1% was 2.9 pp below the state's median seat (63.0%).
60.1 − 63.0 = −2.9
The margin narrowed from 11.6 pp in 1998 to 0.2 pp.
0.2 − 11.6 = −11.4 pp
Shyam Bihari Prasad, the 1998 winner, finished second in 2000.
1998 winner name = 2000 runner-up name
