Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 59,597 votes, 3.2× the 18,844-vote margin.

    59,597 ÷ 18,844 = 3.2

  2. The top two polled 69.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 30.0% between them.

    (89,374 + 70,530) ÷ 2,30,181 = 69.5% · 69,141 ÷ 2,30,181 = 30.0%

  3. Turnout of 85.7% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    85.7 − 86.6 = −0.9

  4. The margin widened from 0.4 pp in 2021 to 8.2 pp.

    8.2 − 0.4 = +7.8 pp

  5. Ashokkumar.K, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
