[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 12,580 votes, 5.5× the 2,287-vote margin.

    12,580 ÷ 2,287 = 5.5

  2. The top two polled 87.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 12.2% between them.

    (63,082 + 60,795) ÷ 1,41,045 = 87.8% · 17,168 ÷ 1,41,045 = 12.2%

  3. Turnout of 81.9% was 4.4 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    81.9 − 77.5 = +4.4

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2011 to 1.6 pp.

    1.6 − 0.4 = +1.2 pp

  5. K M Shaji also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
