Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed CPI(M) polled 5,702 votes, 1.7× the 3,322-vote margin.
5,702 ÷ 3,322 = 1.7
The top two polled 89.8% of votes; the other 20 candidates 10.2% between them.
(61,744 + 58,422) ÷ 1,33,765 = 89.8% · 13,599 ÷ 1,33,765 = 10.2%
Turnout of 62.2% was 14.3 pp below the state's median seat (76.5%).
62.2 − 76.5 = −14.3
The margin narrowed from 23.7 pp in 2011 to 2.5 pp.
2.5 − 23.7 = −21.2 pp
Neelakandan V, the 2011 winner, finished second in 2016.
