Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 31,510 votes, 2.6× the 12,162-vote margin.

    31,510 ÷ 12,162 = 2.6

  2. The top two polled 80.5% of votes; the other 6 candidates 19.1% between them.

    (77,662 + 65,500) ÷ 1,77,765 = 80.5% · 33,874 ÷ 1,77,765 = 19.1%

  3. Turnout of 83.9% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    83.9 − 79.4 = +4.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 23.6 pp in 2021 to 6.8 pp.

    6.8 − 23.6 = −16.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: NCP in 2021, INC in 2026.
