Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.6% of votes; the other 6 candidates 9.3% between them.

    (1,34,080 + 1,04,503) ÷ 2,66,178 = 89.6% · 24,815 ÷ 2,66,178 = 9.3%

  2. Turnout of 92.1% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    92.1 − 93.4 = −1.3

  3. The margin widened from 7.9 pp in 2021 to 11.1 pp.

    11.1 − 7.9 = +3.2 pp

  4. Rajib Lochan Saren, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
