- The votes for the two candidates are in a ratio of 4:9.

- This means for every 4 votes the unsuccessful candidate got, the successful candidate got 9.

- The successful candidate received 984321 votes.

- Let the votes for unsuccessful candidate be \( x \).

- Set up the ratio equation: \( \frac{x}{984321} = \frac{4}{9} \).

- Solving for \( x \): \( x = \frac{4}{9} \times 984321 \).

- Calculating gives \( x = 437476 \).
