Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed INC polled 57,997 votes, 10× the 5,686-vote margin.
57,997 ÷ 5,686 = 10.2
The top two polled 69.9% of votes; the other 21 candidates 29.9% between them.
(84,506 + 78,820) ÷ 2,33,684 = 69.9% · 69,786 ÷ 2,33,684 = 29.9%
Turnout of 90.5% was 3.9 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
90.5 − 86.6 = +3.9
The margin narrowed from 12.0 pp in 2021 to 2.4 pp.
2.4 − 12.0 = −9.6 pp
The seat changed hands: INC in 2021, TVK in 2026.
