Arithmetic · working shown

  1. Third-placed INC polled 35,276 votes, 8.0× the 4,398-vote margin.

    35,276 ÷ 4,398 = 8.0

  2. The top two polled 72.9% of votes; the other 3 candidates 26.6% between them.

    (51,923 + 47,525) ÷ 1,36,507 = 72.9% · 36,331 ÷ 1,36,507 = 26.6%

  3. Turnout of 76.7% was 2.7 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    76.7 − 79.4 = −2.7

  4. The margin narrowed from 12.6 pp in 2021 to 3.2 pp.

    3.2 − 12.6 = −9.4 pp

  5. The seat changed hands: CPI in 2021, BJP in 2026.
