Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 23,545 votes, 2.0× the 12,070-vote margin.

    23,545 ÷ 12,070 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 85.7% of votes; the other 5 candidates 14.1% between them.

    (79,913 + 67,843) ÷ 1,72,425 = 85.7% · 24,227 ÷ 1,72,425 = 14.1%

  3. Turnout of 80.6% was 1.2 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.6 − 79.4 = +1.2

  4. The margin widened from 5.2 pp in 2021 to 7.0 pp.

    7.0 − 5.2 = +1.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2021, INC in 2026.
