Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 11 candidates 6.3% between them.

    (67,539 + 56,289) ÷ 1,33,063 = 93.1% · 8,387 ÷ 1,33,063 = 6.3%

  2. Turnout of 88.2% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    88.2 − 93.4 = −5.2

  3. The margin widened from 3.7 pp in 2021 to 8.5 pp.

    8.5 − 3.7 = +4.8 pp

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