Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 97.7% of votes; the other 3 candidates 1.6% between them.

    (5,19,748 + 4,28,297) ÷ 9,69,965 = 97.7% · 15,990 ÷ 9,69,965 = 1.6%

  2. Turnout of 72.0% was 0.6 pp below the state's median seat (72.6%).

    72.0 − 72.6 = −0.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 35.8 pp in 2019 to 9.4 pp.

    9.4 − 35.8 = −26.4 pp

  4. Suresh Kumar Kashyap also won in 2019.
