Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.5% between them.

    (1,03,970 + 3,759) ÷ 1,18,502 = 90.9% · 7,644 ÷ 1,18,502 = 6.5%

  2. Turnout of 58.8% matched the state's median seat.

    58.8 − 58.8 = 0.0

  3. The margin widened from 45.3 pp in 1989 to 84.6 pp.

    84.6 − 45.3 = +39.3 pp

  4. SIKKIM held the seat it won in 1989.
