Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.8% of votes; the other 7 candidates 7.3% between them.

    (74,123 + 53,258) ÷ 1,38,814 = 91.8% · 10,137 ÷ 1,38,814 = 7.3%

  2. Turnout of 86.8% was 6.6 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    86.8 − 93.4 = −6.6

  3. The margin narrowed from 17.4 pp in 2021 to 15.0 pp.

    15.0 − 17.4 = −2.4 pp

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