Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (4,55,414 + 3,44,026) ÷ 8,45,529 = 94.5% · 31,267 ÷ 8,45,529 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 89.9% was 5.6 pp above the state's median seat (84.3%).

    89.9 − 84.3 = +5.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.4 pp in 1991 to 13.2 pp.

    13.2 − 17.4 = −4.2 pp

  4. CPI held the seat it won in 1991.
