[02]Computed insights

Arithmetic · working shown
  1. The top two polled 78.1% of votes; the other 7 candidates 21.1% between them.

    (14,633 + 7,629) ÷ 28,497 = 78.1% · 6,011 ÷ 28,497 = 21.1%
  2. The margin narrowed from 46.9 pp in 2021 to 24.6 pp.

    24.6 − 46.9 = −22.3 pp
  3. K.S.P @ S. Ramesh, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
