Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 91.5% of votes; the other 10 candidates 7.8% between them.

    (1,16,901 + 85,902) ÷ 2,21,578 = 91.5% · 17,290 ÷ 2,21,578 = 7.8%

  2. Turnout of 93.5% was 0.1 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.5 − 93.4 = +0.1

  3. The margin widened from 3.7 pp in 2021 to 14.0 pp.

    14.0 − 3.7 = +10.3 pp

  4. Ramendu Sinharay, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
