Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 2,92,031 votes, 1.8× the 1,64,215-vote margin.

    2,92,031 ÷ 1,64,215 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 77.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 21.3% between them.

    (6,82,442 + 5,18,227) ÷ 15,41,559 = 77.9% · 3,27,620 ÷ 15,41,559 = 21.3%

  3. Turnout of 81.7% was 0.5 pp above the state's median seat (81.2%).

    81.7 − 81.2 = +0.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.6 pp in 2019 to 10.7 pp.

    10.7 − 15.6 = −4.9 pp

  5. Abu Taher Khan also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
