Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 31,160 votes, 3.0× the 10,335-vote margin.

    31,160 ÷ 10,335 = 3.0

  2. The top two polled 68.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 30.2% between them.

    (73,355 + 63,020) ÷ 1,99,460 = 68.4% · 60,153 ÷ 1,99,460 = 30.2%

  3. Turnout of 84.3% was 9.1 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    84.3 − 93.4 = −9.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 20.8 pp in 2021 to 5.2 pp.

    5.2 − 20.8 = −15.6 pp

  5. Apurba Sarkar (David), the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
