Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 89.5% of votes; the other 4 candidates 9.9% between them.

    (68,893 + 32,907) ÷ 1,13,747 = 89.5% · 11,236 ÷ 1,13,747 = 9.9%

  2. Turnout of 75.6% was 3.8 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    75.6 − 79.4 = −3.8

  3. The margin widened from 15.5 pp in 2021 to 31.6 pp.

    31.6 − 15.5 = +16.1 pp

  4. Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan also won in 2021.
