Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 6.1% between them.

    (5,36,031 + 4,31,163) ÷ 10,64,081 = 90.9% · 65,084 ÷ 10,64,081 = 6.1%

  2. Turnout of 53.7% was 3.5 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).

    53.7 − 57.2 = −3.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 26.6 pp in 2019 to 9.9 pp.

    9.9 − 26.6 = −16.7 pp

  4. Ajay Kumar Mandal also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
