Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 9 candidates 6.3% between them.

    (1,21,322 + 73,639) ÷ 2,09,201 = 93.2% · 13,246 ÷ 2,09,201 = 6.3%

  2. Turnout of 93.5% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.5 − 93.4 = +0.1

  3. The margin widened from 4.5 pp in 2021 to 22.8 pp.

    22.8 − 4.5 = +18.3 pp
