Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed CPI(M) polled 46,734 votes, 4.2× the 11,039-vote margin.

    46,734 ÷ 11,039 = 4.2

  2. The top two polled 63.6% of votes; the other 8 candidates 35.8% between them.

    (58,795 + 47,756) ÷ 1,67,618 = 63.6% · 59,940 ÷ 1,67,618 = 35.8%

  3. Turnout of 84.9% was 1.7 pp below the state's median seat (86.6%).

    84.9 − 86.6 = −1.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 8.1 pp in 2021 to 6.6 pp.

    6.6 − 8.1 = −1.5 pp

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