Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 25,598 votes, 1.2× the 21,793-vote margin.

    25,598 ÷ 21,793 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 81.3% of votes; the other 7 candidates 18.7% between them.

    (1,00,732 + 78,939) ÷ 2,21,018 = 81.3% · 41,347 ÷ 2,21,018 = 18.7%

  3. Turnout of 82.8% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (83.7%).

    82.8 − 83.7 = −0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.3 pp in 2011 to 9.9 pp.

    9.9 − 16.3 = −6.4 pp

  5. Udayan Guha also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
