Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TP polled 7,837 votes, 1.8× the 4,431-vote margin.

    7,837 ÷ 4,431 = 1.8

  2. The top two polled 94.7% of votes; the other 4 candidates 4.9% between them.

    (83,109 + 78,678) ÷ 1,70,904 = 94.7% · 8,407 ÷ 1,70,904 = 4.9%

  3. Turnout of 81.0% was 1.6 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    81.0 − 79.4 = +1.6

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.4 pp in 2021 to 2.6 pp.

    2.6 − 16.4 = −13.8 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI(M) in 2021, INC in 2026.
