Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed RJD polled 27,120 votes, 1.1× the 23,847-vote margin.

    27,120 ÷ 23,847 = 1.1

  2. The top two polled 92.9% of votes; the other 5 candidates 5.1% between them.

    (5,67,556 + 5,43,709) ÷ 11,95,844 = 92.9% · 60,745 ÷ 11,95,844 = 5.1%

  3. Turnout of 63.2% was 6.0 pp above the state's median seat (57.2%).

    63.2 − 57.2 = +6.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.8 pp in 2019 to 2.0 pp.

    2.0 − 22.8 = −20.8 pp

  5. Santosh Kumar, the 2019 winner, finished second in 2024.

    2019 winner name = 2024 runner-up name
