Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.9% of votes; the other 7 candidates 8.2% between them.

    (1,15,549 + 86,139) ÷ 2,21,852 = 90.9% · 18,103 ÷ 2,21,852 = 8.2%

  2. Turnout of 93.2% was 0.2 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.2 − 93.4 = −0.2

  3. The margin widened from 5.3 pp in 2021 to 13.3 pp.

    13.3 − 5.3 = +8.0 pp

  4. Dibakar Gharami also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
