Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.1% of votes; the other 5 candidates 10.9% between them.

    (93,359 + 59,469) ÷ 1,71,492 = 89.1% · 18,664 ÷ 1,71,492 = 10.9%

  2. Turnout of 84.3% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.3 − 83.7 = +0.6

  3. The margin widened from 18.8 pp in 2011 to 19.8 pp.

    19.8 − 18.8 = +1.0 pp

  4. Adhikari Dibyendu also won in 2011.
