Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 2,40,784 votes, 3.4× the 70,660-vote margin.

    2,40,784 ÷ 70,660 = 3.4

  2. The top two polled 78.3% of votes; the other 12 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (5,28,579 + 4,57,919) ÷ 12,60,046 = 78.3% · 2,62,214 ÷ 12,60,046 = 20.8%

  3. Turnout of 74.1% was 7.1 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    74.1 − 81.2 = −7.1

  4. The margin widened from 4.4 pp in 2019 to 5.6 pp.

    5.6 − 4.4 = +1.2 pp

  5. Sougata Ray also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
