Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RLM polled 2,53,876 votes, 2.4× the 1,05,858-vote margin.

    2,53,876 ÷ 1,05,858 = 2.4

  2. The top two polled 63.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 32.3% between them.

    (3,80,581 + 2,74,723) ÷ 10,31,618 = 63.5% · 3,33,336 ÷ 10,31,618 = 32.3%

  3. Turnout of 53.7% was 3.5 pp below the state's median seat (57.2%).

    53.7 − 57.2 = −3.5

  4. The margin widened from 9.7 pp in 2019 to 10.3 pp.

    10.3 − 9.7 = +0.6 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD(U) in 2019, CPI(ML)L in 2024.
