Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 95.3% of votes; the other 9 candidates 3.7% between them.

    (1,19,109 + 89,525) ÷ 2,18,859 = 95.3% · 8,099 ÷ 2,18,859 = 3.7%

  2. Turnout of 96.6% was 3.2 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    96.6 − 93.4 = +3.2

  3. The margin widened from 7.5 pp in 2021 to 13.5 pp.

    13.5 − 7.5 = +6.0 pp

  4. Adhikary Paresh Chandra, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
