Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 90.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 9.2% between them.

    (1,28,454 + 79,201) ÷ 2,30,653 = 90.0% · 21,270 ÷ 2,30,653 = 9.2%

  2. Turnout of 90.9% was 2.5 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    90.9 − 93.4 = −2.5

  3. The margin widened from 3.4 pp in 2021 to 21.4 pp.

    21.4 − 3.4 = +18.0 pp

  4. Sudip Kumar Mukherjee also won in 2021.
