Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 10 candidates 6.6% between them.

    (1,08,481 + 47,005) ÷ 1,67,384 = 92.9% · 11,079 ÷ 1,67,384 = 6.6%

  2. Turnout of 88.2% was 5.2 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    88.2 − 93.4 = −5.2

  3. AITC held the seat it won in 2022.
