Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 12,839 votes, 2.0× the 6,528-vote margin.

    12,839 ÷ 6,528 = 2.0

  2. The top two polled 89.0% of votes; the other 8 candidates 9.5% between them.

    (98,820 + 92,292) ÷ 2,14,694 = 89.0% · 20,330 ÷ 2,14,694 = 9.5%

  3. Turnout of 93.3% was 0.1 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    93.3 − 93.4 = −0.1

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.1 pp in 2021 to 3.0 pp.

    3.0 − 15.1 = −12.1 pp

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