Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 25,480 votes, 1.2× the 21,199-vote margin.

    25,480 ÷ 21,199 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 21.9% between them.

    (85,435 + 64,236) ÷ 1,91,545 = 78.1% · 41,874 ÷ 1,91,545 = 21.9%

  3. Turnout of 84.3% was 0.6 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.3 − 83.7 = +0.6

  4. The margin widened from 6.2 pp in 2011 to 11.1 pp.

    11.1 − 6.2 = +4.9 pp

  5. Asish Banerjee also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
