Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 11.1% between them.

    (96,193 + 73,228) ÷ 1,90,587 = 88.9% · 21,166 ÷ 1,90,587 = 11.1%

  2. Turnout of 88.8% was 5.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    88.8 − 83.7 = +5.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 13.3 pp in 2011 to 12.0 pp.

    12.0 − 13.3 = −1.3 pp

  4. Rafiqur Rahaman also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
