Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 14,697 votes, 2.3× the 6,510-vote margin.

    14,697 ÷ 6,510 = 2.3

  2. The top two polled 84.0% of votes; the other 4 candidates 15.1% between them.

    (65,325 + 58,815) ÷ 1,47,788 = 84.0% · 22,350 ÷ 1,47,788 = 15.1%

  3. Turnout of 85.2% was 5.8 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    85.2 − 79.4 = +5.8

  4. The margin narrowed from 22.3 pp in 2021 to 4.4 pp.

    4.4 − 22.3 = −17.9 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: JD(S) in 2021, INC in 2026.
