Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 10,772 votes, 2.7× the 3,990-vote margin.

    10,772 ÷ 3,990 = 2.7

  2. The top two polled 92.4% of votes; the other 6 candidates 7.6% between them.

    (1,02,993 + 99,003) ÷ 2,18,530 = 92.4% · 16,534 ÷ 2,18,530 = 7.6%

  3. Turnout of 89.4% was 2.2 pp above the state's median seat (87.2%).

    89.4 − 87.2 = +2.2

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.7 pp in 2016 to 1.8 pp.

    1.8 − 8.7 = −6.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: AITC in 2016, BJP in 2021.
