Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BSP polled 21,411 votes, 8.1× the 2,649-vote margin.

    21,411 ÷ 2,649 = 8.1

  2. The top two polled 79.2% of votes; the other 12 candidates 20.8% between them.

    (75,583 + 72,934) ÷ 1,87,576 = 79.2% · 39,059 ÷ 1,87,576 = 20.8%

  3. Turnout of 55.5% was 4.8 pp below the state's median seat (60.3%).

    55.5 − 60.3 = −4.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 5.1 pp in 2017 to 1.4 pp.

    1.4 − 5.1 = −3.7 pp

  5. Abhay Kumar Alias Dhiraj Ojha, the 2017 winner, finished second in 2022.

    2017 winner name = 2022 runner-up name
