Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 93.2% of votes; the other 5 candidates 6.4% between them.

    (68,275 + 59,965) ÷ 1,37,623 = 93.2% · 8,770 ÷ 1,37,623 = 6.4%

  2. Turnout of 76.2% was 3.2 pp below the state's median seat (79.4%).

    76.2 − 79.4 = −3.2

  3. The margin narrowed from 10.5 pp in 2021 to 6.0 pp.

    6.0 − 10.5 = −4.5 pp

  4. K B Ganesh Kumar, the 2021 winner, finished second in 2026.

    2021 winner name = 2026 runner-up name
