Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 96.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 3.2% between them.

    (1,10,259 + 99,883) ÷ 2,18,374 = 96.2% · 7,021 ÷ 2,18,374 = 3.2%

  2. Turnout of 92.0% was 1.4 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    92.0 − 93.4 = −1.4

  3. The margin widened from 0.3 pp in 2021 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 0.3 = +4.5 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
