Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (1,15,054 + 1,04,748) ÷ 2,41,175 = 91.1% · 19,822 ÷ 2,41,175 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 95.1% was 1.7 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    95.1 − 93.4 = +1.7

  3. The margin narrowed from 6.9 pp in 2021 to 4.3 pp.

    4.3 − 6.9 = −2.6 pp

  4. Nilabati Saha, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
