Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.0% of votes; the other 6 candidates 11.0% between them.

    (1,28,493 + 89,251) ÷ 2,44,573 = 89.0% · 26,829 ÷ 2,44,573 = 11.0%

  2. Turnout of 66.2% was 5.7 pp above the state's median seat (60.5%).

    66.2 − 60.5 = +5.7

  3. The margin widened from 13.8 pp in 2012 to 16.0 pp.

    16.0 − 13.8 = +2.2 pp

  4. Peetam Ram, the 2012 winner, finished second in 2017.

    2012 winner name = 2017 runner-up name
