Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,905 votes, 4.9× the 3,030-vote margin.

    14,905 ÷ 3,030 = 4.9

  2. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 3 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (73,545 + 70,515) ÷ 1,61,697 = 89.1% · 17,637 ÷ 1,61,697 = 10.9%

  3. Turnout of 77.6% was 6.1 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    77.6 − 83.7 = −6.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.8 pp in 2011 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 20.8 = −18.9 pp

  5. Nirmal Ghosh also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
