Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.6% of votes; the other 2 candidates 3.4% between them.

    (17,513 + 16,241) ÷ 35,315 = 95.6% · 1,201 ÷ 35,315 = 3.4%

  2. Turnout of 72.8% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (71.6%).

    72.8 − 71.6 = +1.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 5.3 pp in 1993 to 3.6 pp.

    3.6 − 5.3 = −1.7 pp

  4. Virender Kumar also won in 1993.

    1993 winner name = 1998 winner name
