Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.3% of votes; the other 8 candidates 3.1% between them.

    (1,18,219 + 86,747) ÷ 2,12,835 = 96.3% · 6,581 ÷ 2,12,835 = 3.1%

  2. Turnout of 92.8% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    92.8 − 93.4 = −0.6

  3. The margin widened from 5.3 pp in 2021 to 14.8 pp.

    14.8 − 5.3 = +9.5 pp

  4. Arup Kumar Das also won in 2021.
