Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 22,087 votes, 1.7× the 13,369-vote margin.

    22,087 ÷ 13,369 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 83.5% of votes; the other 8 candidates 16.5% between them.

    (70,593 + 57,224) ÷ 1,53,014 = 83.5% · 25,197 ÷ 1,53,014 = 16.5%

  3. Turnout of 81.6% was 4.1 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    81.6 − 77.5 = +4.1

  4. The margin widened from 3.0 pp in 2011 to 8.7 pp.

    8.7 − 3.0 = +5.7 pp

  5. K.Dasan also won in 2011.

    2011 winner name = 2016 winner name
