Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.7% of votes; the other 10 candidates 11.6% between them.

    (1,15,502 + 90,365) ÷ 2,34,687 = 87.7% · 27,185 ÷ 2,34,687 = 11.6%

  2. Turnout of 89.7% was 3.7 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    89.7 − 93.4 = −3.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.1 pp in 2021 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 17.1 = −6.4 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
