Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 17,476 votes, 50× the 349-vote margin.

    17,476 ÷ 349 = 50.1

  2. NOTA polled 576 votes, 1.7× the winning margin of 349.

    576 ÷ 349 = 1.7

  3. The top two polled 87.3% of votes; the other 6 candidates 12.3% between them.

    (64,951 + 64,602) ÷ 1,48,412 = 87.3% · 18,283 ÷ 1,48,412 = 12.3%

  4. Turnout of 78.5% was 0.9 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.5 − 79.4 = −0.9

  5. The margin narrowed from 4.3 pp in 2021 to 0.2 pp.

    0.2 − 4.3 = −4.1 pp

  6. K. V. Sumesh also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
