Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 23,841 votes, 3.2× the 7,354-vote margin.

    23,841 ÷ 7,354 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 68.2% of votes; the other 4 candidates 28.0% between them.

    (38,568 + 31,214) ÷ 1,02,362 = 68.2% · 28,694 ÷ 1,02,362 = 28.0%

  3. Turnout of 76.7% was 2.3 pp above the state's median seat (74.4%).

    76.7 − 74.4 = +2.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 49.4 pp in 1990 to 7.2 pp.

    7.2 − 49.4 = −42.2 pp

  5. Kanhucharan Naik, the 1990 winner, finished second in 1995.

    1990 winner name = 1995 runner-up name
