Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 72.8% of votes; the other 11 candidates 26.8% between them.

    (1,10,439 + 54,671) ÷ 2,26,819 = 72.8% · 60,844 ÷ 2,26,819 = 26.8%

  2. Turnout of 89.9% was 3.3 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.9 − 86.6 = +3.3

  3. The margin widened from 4.6 pp in 2021 to 24.6 pp.

    24.6 − 4.6 = +20.0 pp

  4. Durai Chandrasekar, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
