Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 4.4% between them.

    (5,66,630 + 3,88,474) ÷ 10,24,184 = 93.3% · 45,176 ÷ 10,24,184 = 4.4%

  2. Turnout of 57.5% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (57.2%).

    57.5 − 57.2 = +0.3

  3. The margin narrowed from 27.8 pp in 2019 to 17.4 pp.

    17.4 − 27.8 = −10.4 pp

  4. Gopal Jee Thakur also won in 2019.
