Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 80.9% of votes; the other 9 candidates 18.6% between them.

    (1,61,309 + 88,569) ÷ 3,08,894 = 80.9% · 57,445 ÷ 3,08,894 = 18.6%

  2. Turnout of 83.4% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    83.4 − 86.6 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 36.1 pp in 2021 to 23.6 pp.

    23.6 − 36.1 = −12.5 pp

  4. Krishnaswamy.A, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
