Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 52,355 votes, 6.9× the 7,570-vote margin.

    52,355 ÷ 7,570 = 6.9

  2. The top two polled 67.3% of votes; the other 18 candidates 32.4% between them.

    (69,880 + 62,310) ÷ 1,96,280 = 67.3% · 63,643 ÷ 1,96,280 = 32.4%

  3. Turnout of 75.6% was 11.0 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    75.6 − 86.6 = −11.0

  4. The margin narrowed from 6.4 pp in 2021 to 3.9 pp.

    3.9 − 6.4 = −2.5 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: BJP in 2021, DMK in 2026.
