Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.1% of votes; the other 6 candidates 8.6% between them.

    (97,416 + 79,630) ÷ 1,96,484 = 90.1% · 16,986 ÷ 1,96,484 = 8.6%

  2. Turnout of 89.8% was 3.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    89.8 − 93.4 = −3.6

  3. The margin widened from 2.0 pp in 2021 to 9.1 pp.

    9.1 − 2.0 = +7.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
