Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed TVK polled 63,287 votes, 8.9× the 7,081-vote margin.

    63,287 ÷ 7,081 = 8.9

  2. The top two polled 67.3% of votes; the other 11 candidates 32.2% between them.

    (76,302 + 69,221) ÷ 2,16,318 = 67.3% · 69,692 ÷ 2,16,318 = 32.2%

  3. Turnout of 90.2% was 3.6 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).

    90.2 − 86.6 = +3.6

  4. The margin widened from 3.2 pp in 2021 to 3.3 pp.

    3.3 − 3.2 = +0.1 pp

  5. A.P.Nandakumar, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
