Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 88.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 11.4% between them.

    (94,381 + 70,801) ÷ 1,86,370 = 88.6% · 21,188 ÷ 1,86,370 = 11.4%

  2. Turnout of 87.8% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    87.8 − 83.7 = +4.1

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.7 pp in 2011 to 12.7 pp.

    12.7 − 17.7 = −5.0 pp

  4. Tamonash Ghosh also won in 2011.
