Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 27,167 votes, 2.7× the 10,212-vote margin.

    27,167 ÷ 10,212 = 2.7

  2. The top two polled 80.4% of votes; the other 5 candidates 19.1% between them.

    (66,282 + 56,070) ÷ 1,52,241 = 80.4% · 29,026 ÷ 1,52,241 = 19.1%

  3. Turnout of 77.8% was 1.6 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    77.8 − 79.4 = −1.6

  4. The margin widened from 3.8 pp in 2021 to 6.7 pp.

    6.7 − 3.8 = +2.9 pp

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