Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 36,172 votes, 5.4× the 6,693-vote margin.

    36,172 ÷ 6,693 = 5.4

  2. The top two polled 74.0% of votes; the other 5 candidates 25.7% between them.

    (56,900 + 50,207) ÷ 1,44,794 = 74.0% · 37,189 ÷ 1,44,794 = 25.7%

  3. Turnout of 78.1% was 1.3 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    78.1 − 79.4 = −1.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.1 pp in 2021 to 4.6 pp.

    4.6 − 12.1 = −7.5 pp

  5. Adv. Sebastian Kulathunkal, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
