Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 87.2% of votes; the other 8 candidates 12.1% between them.

    (1,22,020 + 86,954) ÷ 2,39,536 = 87.2% · 29,076 ÷ 2,39,536 = 12.1%

  2. Turnout of 92.7% was 0.7 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    92.7 − 93.4 = −0.7

  3. The margin widened from 4.1 pp in 2021 to 14.6 pp.

    14.6 − 4.1 = +10.5 pp

  4. Rabindranath Chatterjee, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
