[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 11,219 votes, 1.3× the 8,587-vote margin.

    11,219 ÷ 8,587 = 1.3

  2. The top two polled 90.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (88,707 + 80,120) ÷ 1,86,074 = 90.7% · 17,247 ÷ 1,86,074 = 9.3%

  3. Turnout of 83.3% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    83.3 − 83.7 = −0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 11.3 pp in 2011 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 11.3 = −6.7 pp

  5. Nepal Mahata also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
