Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.8% of votes; the other 4 candidates 7.2% between them.

    (1,07,081 + 78,828) ÷ 2,00,399 = 92.8% · 14,490 ÷ 2,00,399 = 7.2%

  2. Turnout of 83.9% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    83.9 − 83.7 = +0.2

  3. The margin widened from 9.3 pp in 2011 to 14.1 pp.

    14.1 − 9.3 = +4.8 pp

  4. Akhil Giri also won in 2011.
