Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.5% of votes; the other 9 candidates 5.7% between them.

    (1,05,780 + 68,793) ÷ 1,86,702 = 93.5% · 10,688 ÷ 1,86,702 = 5.7%

  2. Turnout of 95.0% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    95.0 − 93.4 = +1.6

  3. The margin widened from 0.9 pp in 2021 to 19.8 pp.

    19.8 − 0.9 = +18.9 pp

  4. Budhrai Tudu also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
