Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 94.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.7% between them.

    (83,649 + 51,420) ÷ 1,42,976 = 94.5% · 6,710 ÷ 1,42,976 = 4.7%

  2. Turnout of 79.5% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (84.3%).

    79.5 − 84.3 = −4.8

  3. The margin widened from 18.1 pp in 2021 to 22.5 pp.

    22.5 − 18.1 = +4.4 pp

  4. BJP held the seat it won in 2021.
