Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 6.7% between them.

    (1,36,992 + 82,815) ÷ 2,39,331 = 91.8% · 15,991 ÷ 2,39,331 = 6.7%

  2. Turnout of 90.4% was 3.0 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    90.4 − 93.4 = −3.0

  3. The margin widened from 0.7 pp in 2021 to 22.6 pp.

    22.6 − 0.7 = +21.9 pp

  4. Niladri Sekhar Dana also won in 2021.
