Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed DMDK polled 56,905 votes, 2.7× the 20,896-vote margin.

    56,905 ÷ 20,896 = 2.7

  2. The top two polled 69.8% of votes; the other 17 candidates 29.8% between them.

    (93,713 + 72,817) ÷ 2,38,579 = 69.8% · 71,108 ÷ 2,38,579 = 29.8%

  3. Turnout of 91.1% was 4.5 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    91.1 − 86.6 = +4.5

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.5 pp in 2021 to 8.8 pp.

    8.8 − 12.5 = −3.7 pp

  5. PMK held the seat it won in 2021.
