Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 58,174 votes, 17× the 3,333-vote margin.

    58,174 ÷ 3,333 = 17.5

  2. The top two polled 65.0% of votes; the other 13 candidates 34.5% between them.

    (63,805 + 60,472) ÷ 1,91,204 = 65.0% · 65,939 ÷ 1,91,204 = 34.5%

  3. Turnout of 89.1% was 2.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    89.1 − 86.6 = +2.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.5 pp in 2021 to 1.7 pp.

    1.7 − 19.5 = −17.8 pp

  5. Ambethkumar. S also won in 2021.
