Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 21,598 votes, 2.8× the 7,828-vote margin.

    21,598 ÷ 7,828 = 2.8

  2. The top two polled 87.0% of votes; the other 10 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (1,00,540 + 92,712) ÷ 2,22,054 = 87.0% · 27,228 ÷ 2,22,054 = 12.3%

  3. Turnout of 91.6% was 1.8 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    91.6 − 93.4 = −1.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.6 pp in 2021 to 3.5 pp.

    3.5 − 23.6 = −20.1 pp

  5. Nandita Chowdhury also won in 2021.
