Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 6.3% between them.

    (1,31,550 + 93,893) ÷ 2,42,025 = 93.1% · 15,274 ÷ 2,42,025 = 6.3%

  2. Turnout of 87.0% was 6.4 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    87.0 − 93.4 = −6.4

  3. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2021 to 15.6 pp.

    15.6 − 0.4 = +15.2 pp

  4. Sital Kapat also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
