Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BDJS polled 17,997 votes, 1.2× the 14,489-vote margin.

    17,997 ÷ 14,489 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 88.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 11.2% between them.

    (83,216 + 68,727) ÷ 1,72,221 = 88.2% · 19,257 ÷ 1,72,221 = 11.2%

  3. Turnout of 83.1% was 3.7 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    83.1 − 79.4 = +3.7

  4. The margin widened from 3.5 pp in 2021 to 8.4 pp.

    8.4 − 3.5 = +4.9 pp

  5. P. Prasad also won in 2021.
