Arithmetic · working shown

Third-placed TVK polled 64,997 votes, 5.5× the 11,869-vote margin.
64,997 ÷ 11,869 = 5.5
The top two polled 66.7% of votes; the other 19 candidates 33.0% between them.
(85,708 + 73,839) ÷ 2,39,140 = 66.7% · 78,997 ÷ 2,39,140 = 33.0%
Turnout of 91.3% was 4.7 pp above the state's median seat (86.6%).
91.3 − 86.6 = +4.7
The margin narrowed from 5.3 pp in 2021 to 5.0 pp.
