Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 18.8% between them.

    (1,12,663 + 71,846) ÷ 2,30,137 = 80.2% · 43,191 ÷ 2,30,137 = 18.8%

  2. Turnout of 90.8% was 2.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    90.8 − 93.4 = −2.6

  3. The margin widened from 6.9 pp in 2021 to 17.7 pp.

    17.7 − 6.9 = +10.8 pp

  4. Sushanta Mahato, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
