Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.8% between them.

    (1,11,004 + 94,342) ÷ 2,20,056 = 93.3% · 12,787 ÷ 2,20,056 = 5.8%

  2. Turnout of 93.8% was 0.4 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.8 − 93.4 = +0.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 8.1 pp in 2021 to 7.6 pp.

    7.6 − 8.1 = −0.5 pp

  4. Swapan Debnath, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
