Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.9% of votes; the other 6 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (1,19,582 + 78,743) ÷ 2,15,792 = 91.9% · 14,610 ÷ 2,15,792 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 89.1% was 4.3 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    89.1 − 93.4 = −4.3

  3. The margin widened from 2.3 pp in 2021 to 18.9 pp.

    18.9 − 2.3 = +16.6 pp

  4. Agnimitra Paul also won in 2021.
