Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 12.4% between them.

    (1,14,626 + 70,698) ÷ 2,11,597 = 87.6% · 26,273 ÷ 2,11,597 = 12.4%

  2. Turnout of 84.8% was 1.1 pp above the state's median seat (83.7%).

    84.8 − 83.7 = +1.1

  3. The margin widened from 18.7 pp in 2015 to 20.8 pp.

    20.8 − 18.7 = +2.1 pp

  4. Satyajit Biswas also won in 2015.
