Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 18,192 votes, 1.2× the 14,798-vote margin.

    18,192 ÷ 14,798 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 12.0% between them.

    (96,559 + 81,761) ÷ 2,04,165 = 87.3% · 24,485 ÷ 2,04,165 = 12.0%

  3. Turnout of 93.6% was 0.2 pp above the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.6 − 93.4 = +0.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.3 pp in 2021 to 7.3 pp.

    7.3 − 15.3 = −8.0 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2021, BJP in 2026.
