Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 34,159 votes, 5.8× the 5,872-vote margin.

    34,159 ÷ 5,872 = 5.8

  2. The top two polled 75.0% of votes; the other 11 candidates 24.6% between them.

    (72,723 + 66,851) ÷ 1,86,050 = 75.0% · 45,754 ÷ 1,86,050 = 24.6%

  3. Turnout of 79.6% was 7.0 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    79.6 − 86.6 = −7.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 14.6 pp in 2021 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 14.6 = −11.4 pp

  5. Anitha R. Radhakrishnan also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
