Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 60,993 votes, 12× the 5,198-vote margin.

    60,993 ÷ 5,198 = 11.7

  2. The top two polled 65.8% of votes; the other 11 candidates 33.8% between them.

    (70,201 + 65,003) ÷ 2,05,530 = 65.8% · 69,445 ÷ 2,05,530 = 33.8%

  3. Turnout of 86.9% was 0.3 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    86.9 − 86.6 = +0.3

  4. The margin narrowed from 15.2 pp in 2021 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 15.2 = −12.7 pp

  5. T M Tamilselvam, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
