Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 14,366 votes, 1.4× the 10,343-vote margin.

    14,366 ÷ 10,343 = 1.4

  2. The top two polled 70.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 29.2% between them.

    (33,629 + 23,286) ÷ 80,450 = 70.7% · 23,530 ÷ 80,450 = 29.2%

  3. Turnout of 69.3% was 1.9 pp above the state's median seat (67.4%).

    69.3 − 67.4 = +1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 25.4 pp in 1997 to 12.9 pp.

    12.9 − 25.4 = −12.5 pp

  5. Nand Lal also won in 1997.

    1997 winner name = 2002 winner name
