Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 92.2% of votes; the other 10 candidates 6.8% between them.

    (1,20,877 + 82,730) ÷ 2,20,940 = 92.2% · 15,071 ÷ 2,20,940 = 6.8%

  2. Turnout of 93.0% was 0.4 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.0 − 93.4 = −0.4

  3. The margin narrowed from 19.3 pp in 2021 to 17.3 pp.

    17.3 − 19.3 = −2.0 pp

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