Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.6% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (1,25,624 + 83,710) ÷ 2,26,031 = 92.6% · 15,350 ÷ 2,26,031 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 93.6% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.6 − 93.4 = +0.2

  3. The margin widened from 2.7 pp in 2021 to 18.5 pp.

    18.5 − 2.7 = +15.8 pp

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