Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 12,537 votes, 1.7× the 7,285-vote margin.

    12,537 ÷ 7,285 = 1.7

  2. The top two polled 85.8% of votes; the other 8 candidates 14.2% between them.

    (69,270 + 61,985) ÷ 1,53,020 = 85.8% · 21,765 ÷ 1,53,020 = 14.2%

  3. Turnout of 82.4% was 4.9 pp above the state's median seat (77.5%).

    82.4 − 77.5 = +4.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 9.1 pp in 2011 to 4.8 pp.

    4.8 − 9.1 = −4.3 pp

  5. K Achuthan, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.

    2011 winner name = 2016 runner-up name
