Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 24,925 votes, 6.7× the 3,706-vote margin.

    24,925 ÷ 3,706 = 6.7

  2. The top two polled 81.9% of votes; the other 2 candidates 17.3% between them.

    (62,734 + 59,028) ÷ 1,48,655 = 81.9% · 25,784 ÷ 1,48,655 = 17.3%

  3. Turnout of 80.8% was 1.4 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.8 − 79.4 = +1.4

  4. The margin narrowed from 19.8 pp in 2021 to 2.5 pp.

    2.5 − 19.8 = −17.3 pp

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