Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed BJP polled 32,121 votes, 1.2× the 26,618-vote margin.

    32,121 ÷ 26,618 = 1.2

  2. The top two polled 80.2% of votes; the other 3 candidates 19.5% between them.

    (82,593 + 55,975) ÷ 1,72,736 = 80.2% · 33,643 ÷ 1,72,736 = 19.5%

  3. Turnout of 80.3% was 0.9 pp above the state's median seat (79.4%).

    80.3 − 79.4 = +0.9

  4. The margin narrowed from 16.9 pp in 2021 to 15.4 pp.

    15.4 − 16.9 = −1.5 pp

  5. C.R. Mahesh also won in 2021.

    2021 winner name = 2026 winner name
