Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.9% of votes; the other 12 candidates 9.7% between them.

    (6,79,331 + 5,00,806) ÷ 13,27,412 = 88.9% · 1,29,254 ÷ 13,27,412 = 9.7%

  2. Turnout of 75.2% was 6.0 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    75.2 − 81.2 = −6.0

  3. The margin narrowed from 32.6 pp in 2019 to 13.4 pp.

    13.4 − 32.6 = −19.2 pp

  4. Raju Bista also won in 2019.
