Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 23,193 votes, 5.2× the 4,454-vote margin.

    23,193 ÷ 4,454 = 5.2

  2. The top two polled 86.4% of votes; the other 11 candidates 12.8% between them.

    (1,04,649 + 1,00,195) ÷ 2,37,001 = 86.4% · 30,302 ÷ 2,37,001 = 12.8%

  3. Turnout of 91.5% was 1.9 pp below the state's median seat (93.4%).

    91.5 − 93.4 = −1.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.6 pp in 2021 to 1.9 pp.

    1.9 − 12.6 = −10.7 pp

  5. Sukanta Kumar Paul, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
