Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 83.5% of votes; the other 13 candidates 15.9% between them.

    (81,205 + 52,691) ÷ 1,60,401 = 83.5% · 25,581 ÷ 1,60,401 = 15.9%

  2. Turnout of 78.1% was 8.5 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    78.1 − 86.6 = −8.5

  3. The margin narrowed from 18.4 pp in 2021 to 17.8 pp.

    17.8 − 18.4 = −0.6 pp

  4. Subramanian. Ma, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
