    Here is code in java.

    import java. util.*;

    class Election

    { / /main method

    public static void main (String args[]) {

    / / create an object of Scanner class to read input

    Scanner s = new Scanner (System. in);

    / / string array to store name of candidates

    String name[] = new String[5];

    / / int array to store vote count of candidates

    int v_count[] = new int[5];

    double p = 0;

    int i = 0, sum = 0, high = 0, win = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)

    {

    System. out. print ("last name of Candidate " + (i+1) + ":");

    / / read name of Candidate

    name[i] = s. next ();

    System. out. print (" number of votes received: ");

    / / read vote of Candidate

    v_count[i] = s. nextInt ();

    if (v_count[i] > high)

    {

    / / highest vote

    high = v_count[i];

    win = i;

    }

    / / total vote count

    sum + =v_count[i];

    }

    / / printing the output

    System. out. println ("/nCandidate/tVotes Received/t% of TotalVotes/n");

    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)

    {

    / / % of vote of each Candidate

    p = (v_count[i]*100) / sum;

    / / print the output

    System. out. println (name[i] + "/t/t" + v_count[i] + "/t/t/t" + p);

    }

    / / print the total votes

    System. out. println ("/nTotal Votes:/t" + sum);

    / / print the Winner of the Election

    System. out. println ("Winner of the Election is: " + name[win]);

    }

    }

    Explanation:

    Create a string array "name" to store the name of candidates. Create Integer array "v_count" to store votes os each candidates. Calculate total votes of all candidates and find the highest vote amongst all candidate and print it. Find % of votes received by each candidate. Print these stats.

    Output:

    last name of Candidate 1:patel

    number of votes received: 54

    last name of Candidate 2:singh

    number of votes received: 76

    last name of Candidate 3:roy

    number of votes received: 33

    last name of Candidate 4:yadav

    number of votes received: 98

    last name of Candidate 5:sharma

    number of votes received: 50

    Candidate Votes Received % of TotalVotes

    patel 54 17.0

    singh 76 24.0

    roy 33 10.0

    yadav 98 31.0

    sharma 50 16.0

    Total Votes: 311

    Winner of the Election is: yadav
