Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed AJUP polled 46,709 votes, 3.5× the 13,208-vote margin.

    46,709 ÷ 13,208 = 3.5

  2. The top two polled 58.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 41.2% between them.

    (72,872 + 59,664) ÷ 2,28,591 = 58.0% · 94,276 ÷ 2,28,591 = 41.2%

  3. Turnout of 93.0% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.0 − 93.4 = −0.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 26.5 pp in 2021 to 5.8 pp.

    5.8 − 26.5 = −20.7 pp

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