Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RSP polled 54,217 votes, 5.2× the 10,386-vote margin.

    54,217 ÷ 10,386 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 92.1% of votes; the other 11 candidates 7.3% between them.

    (5,74,996 + 5,64,610) ÷ 12,37,308 = 92.1% · 90,265 ÷ 12,37,308 = 7.3%

  3. Turnout of 79.2% was 2.0 pp below the state's median seat (81.2%).

    79.2 − 81.2 = −2.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 2.8 pp in 2019 to 0.8 pp.

    0.8 − 2.8 = −2.0 pp

  5. Sukanta Majumdar also won in 2019.

    2019 winner name = 2024 winner name
